Cessna Citation Xls vs Enstrom 480b vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation XLS+ and Pilatus PC-24 are light business jets, while the Enstrom 480B is a light single‑engine helicopter and the Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a larger twin‑engine medium helicopter. In range terms, the jets generally lead: the Citation XLS+ is typically around the ~2,100‑nautical‑mile class, while the PC‑24 is usually quoted slightly higher at roughly ~2,000–2,200+ nautical miles depending on fit and reserves. Helicopter range is shorter: the Enstrom 480B is commonly in the ~300–400‑nautical‑mile class, whereas the AW189 is often around ~450–500+ nautical miles depending on tanks and mission profile. Passenger capacity follows a similar split. The Citation XLS+ is usually configured for about 7–9 passengers, and the PC‑24 commonly seats about 6–10 in executive layouts. The Enstrom 480B typically carries 4–5 including the pilot. The AW189 can be configured broadly, often around 12–16 passengers in transport roles (fewer in VIP), reflecting its larger cabin and higher payload.
