Commercial aircraft are often compared by category, which largely determines typical range and passenger capacity. Regional jets and turboprops serve short-haul routes, usually carrying roughly 30 to 90 passengers with ranges commonly around 300 to 1,500 miles, optimized for frequent flights into smaller airports. Single-aisle narrowbody jets handle the bulk of domestic and near-international travel, generally seating about 120 to 240 passengers and flying roughly 2,000 to 4,000 miles, balancing efficiency with flexibility across many route types. Widebody twin-aisle aircraft are built for high-demand long-haul missions, typically carrying about 250 to 400+ passengers with ranges often near 6,000 to 9,000 miles, enabling transoceanic service and greater cargo volume. Very large widebodies prioritize maximum capacity on dense routes, sometimes exceeding 450 passengers, while still offering long range, though they are used more selectively due to airport, demand, and operating-cost constraints. In general, as aircraft move from regional to widebody categories, both range and passenger capacity increase, but route economics and airport compatibility become more decisive.
