Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range business jets aimed at intercontinental missions. The Falcon 8X typically offers about 6,450 nm of range and commonly seats around 12–16 passengers, prioritizing efficiency and access to shorter runways for its class. The Gulfstream G700 is larger and more cabin-focused, with roughly 7,500 nm range and typical seating around 13–19 passengers, often chosen for maximum space and nonstop city-pair capability. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet positioned for versatility rather than pure range, with about 2,000 nm range and usually 6–10 passengers. Its standout is the ability to operate from short and semi-prepared runways, blending business-jet speed with rugged-field flexibility. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast, efficient turboprop rather than a jet, with roughly 1,700–1,900 nm range and typically 6–8 passengers. It’s optimized for lower operating costs and strong cruise speed for a turboprop, but it targets regional missions compared with the long-haul Falcon 8X and G700.
