Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G650er vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super‑midsize business jet, typically carrying 8 to 12 passengers with a range around 3,500 nautical miles, suited to transcontinental missions and high cabin comfort. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, commonly configured for about 14 to 19 passengers, with roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range, enabling nonstop intercontinental flights with maximum speed and luxury. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop, usually seating 6 to 9 passengers in executive layouts (up to 10 in some configurations), with about 1,800 nautical miles of range, valued for efficiency and strong short/rough‑field capability. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet designed for versatile access, typically carrying 6 to 10 passengers, with approximately 2,000 nautical miles of range, combining jet speed with the ability to use shorter runways than many comparable jets. Overall, the G650ER leads on range and cabin size, the Longitude balances comfort and cost for long domestic routes, and the PC‑12 NGX and PC‑24 emphasize flexible airport access and operating economics.
