The turboprop
It flies a little slower but can land on shorter runways, sometimes closer to the destination.
The jet
It is faster and flies higher, which matters as soon as the distance grows.
How to choose
For a short distance and a difficult runway, the turboprop can suit. For a longer distance or a need for speed, the jet is better.
