The aircraft's top speed is 351 kn (650 km/h; 404 mph), faster than the Citation I on most trips while burning one-third less fuel. It can cruise at the same long-range speed over 1,842 nmi (3,411 km), 351 kn (650 km/h; 404 mph) more; it can carry eight passengers farther than a King Air 200 while cruising 50 kn (93 km/h) faster.
By July 2018, 900 aircraft had been delivered. [33] By October 2019, 954 TBMs had been built and flew 1.76 million hours, with 734 delivered in North America and 158 in Europe.

Ultra-long-haul flights lasting over 16 hours have been around since the 1930s. While modern jet aircraft travel at faster speeds and cover longer distances, the record for the longest scheduled commercial ultra-long-haul flight route was set in 1943. [7] Some of the historical ultra-long-haul routes include:
