T206H Stationair vs P-750 XSTOL
T206H Stationair and P-750 XSTOL are closely matched, each topping 3 of 7 metrics.
Cross-shopping the Cessna / Textron Aviation T206H Stationair (introduced 1998) against the Pacific Aerospace P-750 XSTOL (introduced 2001) is a common decision, and the two sit closer on paper than the badges suggest. Both are utility, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is cabin capacity, where the P-750 XSTOL carries more passengers.

T206H Stationair vs P-750 XSTOL: the key differences
- The P-750 XSTOL delivers 63% more range (T206H Stationair: 693 nm; P-750 XSTOL: 1,130 nm).
- The T206H Stationair delivers 11% more cruise speed (T206H Stationair: 155 kt; P-750 XSTOL: 140 kt).
- The P-750 XSTOL delivers 67% more passenger capacity (T206H Stationair: 6 seats; P-750 XSTOL: 10 seats).
- The P-750 XSTOL is the newer design (introduced 2001 versus 1998 for the T206H Stationair), a gap of 3 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The P-750 XSTOL is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (7,500 lbs versus 3,600 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
The P-750 XSTOL is the stronger fit for regional and short-to-medium legs — its 1,130 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The T206H Stationair, at 693 nm, is better matched to short-haul and regional hops, where lower trip cost counts for more than outright reach. If most of your flying sits inside the T206H Stationair's range, the P-750 XSTOL's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the P-750 XSTOL leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The T206H Stationair can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
