Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Acj319 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 Dassault Falcon 7x
The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and ACJ320 are narrowbody-derived corporate jets: they suit smaller VIP groups with typical VIP seating roughly in the teens to a few dozen, and offer long intercontinental reach (about 5,600–6,000 nm class), with the TwoTwenty generally offering more cabin volume than an ACJ320. The Airbus ACJ350 is a widebody VVIP platform with far greater cabin space and multi-zone layouts; capacity can range from a few dozen to well over 100 in high-density, and range is ultra-long-haul (about 8,000+ nm class). Boeing’s BBJ MAX 7/8/9 are 737-derived: VIP capacity is usually in the teens to several dozen, with ranges broadly in the ~6,000–7,000 nm class depending on variant and fit, with MAX 9 tending to trade some range for more cabin length. The BBJ 747-8 is the largest by cabin volume, capable of very large VIP complements (often dozens up to 100+), with roughly 7,000+ nm range. The BBJ 777-8 and 777-9 are ultra-long-range widebodies; the 777-8 emphasizes longest reach (around 8,700 nm class) while the 777-9 emphasizes more space, both typically carrying a few dozen to 100+ depending on configuration. The Dassault Falcon 7X is a purpose-built large business jet: typically 10–16 passengers with ~5,900–6,000 nm range.
