Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jets built for intercontinental travel. Both typically carry around 12 to 16 passengers in executive layouts, with maximum seating higher, and offer ranges roughly in the 7,000 to 8,000+ nautical mile class, enabling missions such as North America to Asia or the Middle East with few or no stops. The Global 7500 is commonly cited around 7,700 nm, while the G700 is often cited around 7,500 nm, depending on conditions and configuration. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light-to-midsize “super versatile” business jet with a much shorter range—about 2,000 nm class—and generally carries about 6 to 10 passengers in typical corporate layouts, focusing on flexibility and access to shorter runways. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single-engine turboprop utility aircraft rather than a business jet. It prioritizes short-field and rugged operations, typically seating up to 9 passengers (or more in commuter configurations) with a range roughly around 900 to 1,200 nm depending on payload and reserves.
