Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Airbus Acj319 vs Boeing Bbj Max 7 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9

All five are large-cabin, VIP airliners; the ACJ TwoTwenty is based on the A220-100, the ACJ320 on the A320 family, and the BBJ MAX 7/8/9 on the 737 MAX family. In category terms, the ACJ TwoTwenty is typically positioned as a “large cabin” business jet alternative with a purpose-designed VIP interior footprint, while the ACJ320 and BBJ MAX 8/9 sit in the traditional “VIP narrowbody airliner” class, with the BBJ MAX 7 often seen as the most business-jet-like of the BBJ MAX line due to its smaller base airframe. For range, the longest legs generally come from the ACJ320 and BBJ MAX 7, both commonly quoted around roughly 6,000 nautical miles depending on configuration. The ACJ TwoTwenty is usually quoted around about 5,650 nautical miles, while BBJ MAX 8 is typically slightly lower than the MAX 7, and BBJ MAX 9 is generally the shortest-range of the three MAX variants due to higher weight. For passenger capacity in VIP layouts, ACJ TwoTwenty is often marketed around 18–19, while ACJ320 and BBJ MAX variants commonly accommodate roughly 19–50+, depending heavily on the interior.
