Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Acj319 vs Airbus Acj320 vs Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 747 8 vs Boeing Bbj 777 8 vs Boeing Bbj 777 9 vs Boeing Bbj Max 7 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000
By category, the Bombardier Challenger 650 is a large-cabin business jet, while the Global 5500/6500/7500/8000 are ultra-long-range business jets. Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320 are “bizliners” (single-aisle airliner-based corporate jets), and the Airbus ACJ350 plus Boeing BBJ 747‑8 and BBJ 777‑8/777‑9 are widebody “VVIP” platforms. Boeing BBJ MAX 7/8/9 are single-aisle bizliners. In range terms, the Challenger 650 is typically the shortest of this group, suitable for transcontinental missions rather than true globe-spanning. The Global 5500 and 6500 step up into long/ultra-long range, with the Global 7500 and especially Global 8000 reaching the longest ranges among purpose-built business jets. The ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320 generally offer long-range intercontinental capability, while the ACJ350 and BBJ 777 variants are ultra-long-range, often comparable to or exceeding most large business jets. BBJ MAX models provide long range but usually less than the best-purpose-built Globals; the BBJ 747‑8 emphasizes space and payload with very long range. Passenger capacity generally runs from about 8–16 (Challenger 650), 12–19 (Globals), roughly 18–30+ (ACJ TwoTwenty/ACJ320 and BBJ MAX), and 25–80+ (ACJ350 and BBJ 747‑8/777).
