Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Gulfstream G700 is a large-cabin, ultra-long-range business jet designed for intercontinental missions, offering roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range and typically seating about 12 to 19 passengers depending on layout. It targets maximum comfort, space, and nonstop city-pair capability. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high-speed turboprop in the light-to-midsize category, optimized for efficient regional flying. Its range is roughly 1,500 to 1,800 nautical miles (mission dependent) and it commonly carries about 6 to 9 passengers, emphasizing good speed for a turboprop and lower operating costs than large jets. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light business jet built for versatility, including operations from shorter or less-developed runways than many jets. It offers about 2,000 nautical miles of range and typically accommodates around 6 to 10 passengers. Compared with the Avanti EVO it generally provides higher-altitude jet performance, while it falls far short of the G700’s cabin size and long-haul reach.
