Also: Turboprop aircraft, Propjet
A widely used model in business aviation is the Swiss-built Pilatus PC-12. It typically seats six to nine passengers and has a range of around 3,000 kilometres.
Turboprops fly more slowly than jets but need shorter runways. That lets them reach airfields many jets cannot use, for example in mountain regions or on islands.
On routes of up to about two hours, the time difference compared with a jet is often small, which makes a turboprop an economical alternative.
