Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G700

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra‑long‑range business jets built for intercontinental missions, offering roughly 7,700 nautical miles and about 7,500 nautical miles of range respectively, with typical cabin seating around 14–16 passengers (and higher maximum layouts depending on configuration). The Global 7500 slightly leads on published range, while the G700 is comparable and aimed at similarly large-cabin, high-comfort travel. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high‑performance personal/corporate category, optimized for efficient regional travel rather than nonstop ocean crossings. Its range is roughly 1,700 nautical miles, and it typically carries 4–6 passengers plus a pilot depending on interior and payload. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine utility turboprop designed for rugged, short‑to‑medium routes and flexible cargo/passenger operations. Its range is roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions, and it commonly seats up to about 9 passengers in commuter configurations.
