Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Pilatus Pc 24
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are ultra‑long‑range business jets, while the Pilatus PC‑24 is a “super versatile jet” aimed at short‑to‑midrange missions, and the Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop. On range, the Global 7500 leads with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental city pairs. The Falcon 8X follows at about 6,450 nautical miles, also designed for long nonstop legs with flexible routing. The PC‑24 is typically around 2,000 nautical miles, suited to regional and transcontinental trips with fuel stops as needed. The TBM 960 is in a similar general band at roughly 1,700 nautical miles, optimized for efficient owner‑pilot travel rather than maximum distance. On passenger capacity, the Global 7500 generally accommodates about 14–19 passengers depending on configuration, and the Falcon 8X typically seats around 12–16. The PC‑24 commonly carries about 6–10. The TBM 960 is usually configured for about 4–6 passengers plus a pilot.
