Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 787 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700
By category, the Airbus ACJ350 and Boeing BBJ 787 are VIP airliner derivatives (widebody, long-haul “head of state”/ultra-VIP platforms), while the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are purpose-built ultra-long-range business jets aimed at private/corporate missions with smaller footprints and greater airport flexibility. For range, the ACJ350 typically offers the longest published capability at roughly 10,000–11,000 nautical miles depending on variant and fit, followed by the BBJ 787 at about 9,000–9,900 nautical miles. The Global 7500 is in the same intercontinental class at around 7,700 nautical miles, with the G700 close behind at roughly 7,500 nautical miles. Passenger capacity differs most: ACJ350 and BBJ 787 can be configured for very high VIP counts (often dozens, and potentially well over 100 in dense layouts), but in luxury completions are commonly set up for perhaps 25–50 with multiple zones and bedrooms. The Global 7500 and G700 typically carry about 12–19 passengers in executive layouts, with maximum certifications generally around the high teens to near 20.
