Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G280 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation Longitude and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super‑midsize jet category, while the Pilatus PC‑24 is typically classified as a light jet with “utility” capability (including rough‑field operations). For range, the G280 generally leads this group, at roughly 3,600–3,900 nautical miles depending on configuration and conditions, enabling longer transcontinental and some transoceanic missions. The Citation Longitude is close behind at about 3,500 nautical miles, also aimed at coast‑to‑coast U.S. flying with strong hot‑and‑high performance. The PC‑24 has a shorter typical range, around 2,000 nautical miles, though still suitable for many regional and some transcontinental missions with reduced payload. For passenger capacity, the Longitude commonly seats around 8 to 12 passengers in typical layouts, the G280 around 8 to 10, and the PC‑24 about 6 to 10 depending on interior. In practice, the two super‑midsize jets prioritize longer legs and larger cabins, while the PC‑24 trades some range and cabin volume for versatility and access to shorter runways.
