Turboprops are the workhorses of short-haul private aviation. They use less fuel, land at small fields jets can't touch, and cost meaningfully less per hour, which makes their empty legs some of the best value flying there is. On stages under about 500 nautical miles, a turboprop often beats a light jet door to door.
