Airbus Acj320 vs Airbus Acj320 Neo vs Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 787 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9"
In the large-cabin, ultra-long-range category, the Airbus ACJ350 and Boeing BBJ 787 sit at the top. Both are widebody VIP airliners typically configured for roughly 25 to 80 passengers, with ranges commonly cited around 10,000 to 11,000+ nautical miles depending on variant and fit, enabling almost any city-pair nonstop. Just below that, the Airbus ACJ330neo is also a widebody VVIP platform, usually arranged for about 25 to 80 passengers, with ultra-long-range capability on the order of roughly 9,000 to 10,000 nautical miles, suited to intercontinental missions with very high volume. In the narrowbody, long-range executive category, the Airbus ACJ320neo typically carries about 8 to 25 passengers in VIP layouts and offers long-range performance around 5,000 to 6,000+ nautical miles. Boeing’s BBJ 737 MAX and the BBJ MAX 9 are similarly narrowbody business jets; VIP passenger counts are often about 8 to 25, with typical ranges around 3,500 to 4,000 nautical miles for the MAX and somewhat longer for the MAX 9 depending on configuration and auxiliary tanks.
