Bombardier Global 8000 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G800 1 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
The Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 are ultra-long-range business jets designed for intercontinental missions. Both offer roughly 8,000 nautical miles of range (in the low‑8,000s depending on conditions and configuration) and typically seat about 12 to 19 passengers in executive layouts, with long-cabin comfort and multiple living zones. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in a completely different category: a high-speed personal/corporate aircraft optimized for owner-pilots and short-to-medium trips. Its range is roughly 1,700 nautical miles, and typical seating is about 4 to 6 passengers, trading cabin volume for efficiency and access to shorter runways. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop positioned between the TBM and the large jets: faster and roomier than most turboprops, but not a long-range intercontinental aircraft. Its range is roughly 1,700 to 1,900 nautical miles and it commonly carries about 6 to 9 passengers.
