Cessna Citation Xls vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation XLS+ and Pilatus PC-24 are light jets, the Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop, and the Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a twin‑engine medium helicopter. In range, the PC‑24 is typically the longest of the jets (roughly around 2,000 nm class depending on mission), the Citation XLS+ is a bit shorter (about 1,800–2,100 nm class depending on configuration), the TBM 960 is comparable to or sometimes better than these on many profiles (often around the 1,500–1,900 nm class), while the AW189’s helicopter range is substantially lower (commonly a few hundred nautical miles, varying heavily with reserves and payload). For passenger capacity, the XLS+ is usually flown with about 7–9 passengers, the PC‑24 commonly seats about 6–10 in executive layouts, and the TBM 960 typically carries 4–6 passengers in comfort (up to about 6–7 seats total depending on configuration). The AW189 can carry far more, often around 16–19 passengers in high-density layouts, though VIP layouts reduce that.
