Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Pilatus Pc 24
The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet, designed for intercontinental missions. It offers the greatest range of the group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically carries about 14–19 passengers depending on layout, emphasizing space, multiple living zones, and long-duration comfort. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a heavy, long-range large-cabin jet positioned below the Global 7500 in capability. It generally provides around 3,900 nautical miles of range and commonly seats about 12–14 passengers, with a spacious cabin suited to longer regional or transcontinental flights. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet with “super versatile” utility, notable for operations into shorter or less-improved runways. Its range is typically about 2,000 nautical miles and it usually accommodates around 6–10 passengers, balancing cabin comfort with operational flexibility. The Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop rather than a jet. It has a range around 1,700 nautical miles and typically seats 4–6 passengers, prioritizing efficiency, speed for its class, and access to smaller airports.
