Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a long-range, large-cabin heavy business jet designed for intercontinental missions. It typically carries about 12–14 passengers in an executive layout and offers roughly 4,000+ nautical miles of range (around 4,750 nm), making it best suited to nonstop transoceanic or deep international travel with strong comfort and baggage capacity. The Embraer Phenom 100EV is an entry-level very light jet aimed at short to moderate trips. It commonly seats 4–7 passengers depending on configuration and has about 1,100–1,200 nautical miles of range, fitting regional flying and owner-operator use with lower operating costs. The Pilatus PC-24 sits between them as a light-to-midsize “Super Versatile Jet,” combining a roomy cabin with rugged-field capability. It generally accommodates about 6–10 passengers and offers approximately 2,000 nautical miles of range, excelling at point-to-point missions that may involve shorter runways while still providing meaningful speed and cabin space.
