The Gulfstream G280 is a super‑midsize business jet, typically seating about 8–10 passengers, with an intercontinental-capable range around 3,600 nautical miles, making it suited to transcontinental U.S. and many transatlantic pairings with appropriate payload and winds. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range large-cabin jet, generally configured for about 12–16 passengers, with roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range, enabling nonstop missions such as New York–Hong Kong under favorable conditions. The Gulfstream G700 is Gulfstream’s newest large-cabin flagship category, commonly arranged for about 13–19 passengers, with about 7,500 nautical miles of range and a larger, more flexible cabin than the G650ER. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop in the utility/executive category, usually carrying about 6–9 passengers, with roughly 1,800 nautical miles of range and strong short/rough-field versatility. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet, typically seating about 6–10 passengers, with around 2,000 nautical miles of range and notable ability to use shorter runways than many jets.
