Turboprops
A turboprop seats 6–8 and flies about 1,550 nm. Typical aircraft: Pilatus PC-12 NGX · King Air 360. Estimates start at $4,200 per hour.
They use shorter runways, which can put you closer to where you are going.
Light jets
A light jet seats 6–8 with a range of about 1,950 nm. Typical aircraft: Phenom 300E · Citation CJ4 Gen2. Estimates start at $7,200 per hour.
Jets cruise faster and higher, which matters more as the trip gets longer.
A simple rule
Under about ninety minutes, the time difference is small and a turboprop usually costs less. Beyond that, the speed of a jet starts to pay for itself.
