Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super-midsize category, while the Pilatus PC-24 is typically positioned as a light jet with “light-super” versatility. In range, the Praetor 600 generally leads, offering transcontinental capability of roughly 4,000 nautical miles, making it well suited to longer nonstop missions. The G280 is close behind at about 3,600 nautical miles, also capable of many transcontinental city pairs but with slightly less reach than the Praetor. The PC-24 is shorter-legged by comparison at roughly 2,000 nautical miles, aimed more at regional and medium-length trips, though it stands out for its ability to operate from shorter and in some cases unimproved runways. For passenger capacity, all three commonly seat around 8 to 10 passengers in typical executive layouts, but the Praetor 600 and G280 more often carry 9–10 in comfort on longer missions, while the PC-24 is frequently configured for 6–8 in premium layouts, though higher-density seating is possible.
