Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Boeing Bbj 787 vs Gulfstream G700

The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty and Boeing BBJ 787 sit in the large, airliner-derived VIP category, while the Gulfstream G700 is a purpose-built large-cabin business jet. In range terms, the BBJ 787 is designed for the longest intercontinental missions, commonly cited around 9,000–10,000 nautical miles depending on variant and configuration, enabling near nonstop city pairs at the extreme end of VIP travel. The ACJ TwoTwenty is also long-range, typically quoted around 5,600 nautical miles, suitable for many transatlantic and deep intercontinental routes but generally shorter-legged than a BBJ 787. The G700 is a high-end long-range business jet at about 7,500 nautical miles, often pairing strong range with access to more airports than airliner-based platforms. For passenger capacity, the BBJ 787 can be outfitted for very large VIP parties, often several dozen passengers, while the ACJ TwoTwenty commonly targets a smaller but still substantial group, roughly in the 18–40 range depending on layout. The G700 is typically configured for about 13–19 passengers, prioritizing private suites and speed over sheer headcount.
