Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ and CJ4 are light jets, with the CJ4 sitting at the top of the CJ line: it generally offers the longest range of this group’s light jets and typically carries about 8–10 passengers, while the CJ3+ is a step smaller with a shorter range and commonly 6–9 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Phenom 300E is also a light jet and a direct competitor to the CJ3+/CJ4 class; it typically seats about 6–9 and offers range comparable to the upper end of the light-jet segment (often near the CJ4, depending on configuration). The Pilatus PC-24 is a “light jet” by size but positioned as a versatile light/“super light” utility jet; it usually carries around 6–10 and trades some range versus the longest-range light jets for rugged-field and cargo flexibility. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a large-cabin, long-range business jet in a different category entirely, with substantially greater range and a typical passenger load around 12–16, optimized for intercontinental missions and a wide-cabin experience.
