Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are long‑range, large‑cabin business jets aimed at intercontinental missions, while the Daher TBM 960 and Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX are single‑engine turboprops better suited to shorter regional flying, lower operating costs, and access to smaller airfields. In range, the Global 7500 is the longest‑leg aircraft here at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, edging the Falcon 8X at about 6,450 nautical miles. The TBM 960 sits far below the big jets but remains long‑legged for a turboprop at around 1,730 nautical miles. The Grand Caravan EX is primarily a utility/commuter platform with a typical range on the order of roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. Passenger capacity tracks category: the Global 7500 and Falcon 8X typically carry about 8–16 passengers in executive layouts, with the Global generally offering more cabin volume. The TBM 960 is usually configured for 4–6 passengers (up to about 6–8 seats total including pilot area), whereas the Grand Caravan EX commonly seats around 9 passengers (up to about 14 in some commuter configurations).
