Airbus Acj319 vs Airbus Acj350 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Boeing Bbj 747 8 vs Boeing Bbj 777 8 vs Boeing Bbj 777 9 vs Boeing Bbj Max 7
In category, the Airbus ACJ320, Airbus ACJ350, Boeing BBJ 747-8, Boeing BBJ 777-8, Boeing BBJ 777-9, and Boeing BBJ MAX 7 are VIP airliners (business jets derived from airliners), while the Airbus Helicopters H175 is a long‑range super‑medium helicopter for vertical-lift missions and short to medium point‑to‑point travel. For range, the H175 is the shortest, generally a few hundred nautical miles. Among the jets, the BBJ MAX 7 and ACJ320 sit in the lower long-range bracket for narrowbody VIP travel (typically several thousand nautical miles). The ACJ350 and the BBJ 777-8/777-9 move into true ultra-long-range capability suited to intercontinental and near global missions, with the 777-8 generally offering the longest range of the 777 pair. The BBJ 747-8 also supports ultra-long-range flights, though its strength is combining long range with very large volume. Passenger capacity scales similarly: the H175 carries a small group (typically under 20). The BBJ MAX 7 and ACJ320 accommodate dozens in VIP layouts. The ACJ350 and BBJ 777-8/777-9 are sized for larger VIP parties (often a few dozen to well over 50), while the BBJ 747-8 can be configured for the largest VIP complement, potentially 100+ depending on layout.
