Airbus Acj320 vs Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 777x vs Boeing Bbj 787 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9
In category, the Airbus ACJ330neo and ACJ350 and the Boeing BBJ 787 and BBJ 777X are widebody, long-range VIP airliners intended for head-of-state or large-cabin corporate missions, while the Boeing BBJ 737 MAX and BBJ MAX 9 are narrowbody business jets optimized for smaller groups and shorter-to-long intercontinental missions. For range, the longest typically comes from the BBJ 777X (ultra-long-range widebody), followed closely by the ACJ350 and BBJ 787, all generally suited to very long intercontinental sectors. The ACJ330neo is also long-range but usually a step below the newest ultra-long-range flagships. The BBJ 737 MAX and BBJ MAX 9 offer lower absolute range than the widebodies but can still cover transoceanic routes in VIP configurations. For passenger capacity, the widebodies lead: BBJ 777X and ACJ350 can be configured for very high VIP counts (or extremely spacious fewer passengers), with BBJ 787 and ACJ330neo similarly large but typically slightly less. The BBJ 737 MAX carries fewer, and the longer BBJ MAX 9 generally accommodates more than the BBJ 737 MAX.
