Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 777 8 vs Boeing Bbj Max 7 vs Boeing Bbj Max 8

The Airbus ACJ350 and Boeing BBJ 777-8 sit in the ultra-long-range, widebody/VIP airliner category, aimed at heads of state and large delegations. Both can be configured for very high passenger counts compared with single-aisle BBJs, while still offering extensive private suites and meeting spaces; typical VIP layouts generally run in the dozens to well over 100 depending on density. Their ranges are intercontinental and then some: the ACJ350 is commonly cited around 10,000–11,000 nautical miles class, while the BBJ 777-8 is marketed in a similar ultra-long-range bracket (often quoted around the 11,000+ nautical miles class), enabling near–global nonstop missions. The Boeing BBJ MAX 7 and BBJ MAX 8 are single-aisle business jets derived from the 737 MAX family, positioned for smaller groups, lower operating costs, and access to more airports. In VIP configurations they typically carry a few dozen passengers, though higher-density layouts can raise that substantially. Their ranges are long-haul but below the widebodies, generally in the roughly 6,000–7,000 nautical mile class, with the MAX 8 usually offering more capacity and slightly more range than the MAX 7.
