Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G800 1 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super‑midsize business jet, typically carrying about 8–12 passengers with a range around 3,500 nautical miles, suited to transcontinental missions with a stand‑up cabin and strong comfort/performance balance. The Gulfstream G800 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, commonly configured for roughly 12–19 passengers, and designed for about 8,000 nautical miles of range, prioritizing global nonstop capability and high-end cabin space. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop, usually seating about 6–9 passengers, with roughly 1,800 nautical miles of range; it emphasizes versatility, short/rough-field access, and lower operating costs over jet speed. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet, often arranged for about 6–10 passengers, with approximately 2,000 nautical miles of range; it bridges turboprop-like access (including many shorter runways) with jet cruise speeds, offering more range and speed than the PC‑12 while remaining smaller and shorter-legged than the Longitude and far below the G800’s intercontinental reach.
