Cessna Citation Latitude vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation Latitude and Embraer Praetor 600 are midsize business jets, while the Pilatus PC-24 is often positioned as a light jet with “super versatile” capability, including operations from shorter and rougher runways. In range, the Praetor 600 typically leads, offering about 4,000 nautical miles, making it better suited to longer nonstop city pairs. The Citation Latitude is closer to roughly 2,700 nautical miles, aimed at efficient North America and regional international missions rather than true long-range flying. The PC-24 generally sits in between at about 2,000 nautical miles, trading some range for flexibility and access. For passenger capacity, all three commonly seat around 8 to 10 in typical executive layouts. The Latitude and Praetor 600 can be configured for higher counts (often up to around 12), with the Praetor’s cabin amenities and systems geared toward longer flights. The PC-24 can also be arranged to carry more people (often up to around 10, sometimes higher in specific configurations), but it is most distinctive for its utility-oriented cabin and runway performance rather than maximum-range comfort.
