The Cessna Citation M2 is a very light jet, optimized for short-to-medium missions, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers with range around 1,200–1,500 nm. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet with more cabin and speed than the M2, usually seating about 6–9 and offering roughly 1,900–2,000 nm range. The Cessna Citation Latitude is a midsize jet with a wider, taller cabin than light jets, commonly configured for about 7–9 passengers and flying roughly 2,700 nm. The Embraer Praetor 500 sits in the midsize/super-midsize transition, generally carrying about 8–9 passengers with about 3,300 nm range, while the Praetor 600 is super-midsize with longer legs, typically about 8–12 passengers and around 4,000 nm range. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin long-range business jet derived from the ERJ platform, commonly accommodating about 10–13 passengers and offering roughly 3,900–4,000 nm range, emphasizing cabin volume over runway flexibility.
