Airbus Acj350 vs Boeing Bbj 787 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Airbus ACJ350 and Boeing BBJ 787 are ultra–long-range VIP airliners: widebody “head-of-state” category aircraft offering the greatest cabin volume and typically carrying roughly 25–100+ passengers depending on layout, with intercontinental range around about 10,000–11,000+ nautical miles. Gulfstream’s large-cabin long-range jets sit below those airliners in size but still span continents. The G700 is the newest flagship, usually configured for about 13–19 passengers with roughly 7,500+ nm range. The G650ER is similar in passenger counts but emphasizes maximum reach, around 7,500 nm. The G400 is a large-cabin jet with lower range, roughly about 4,000+ nm, and typically seats around 10–16. The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet, commonly about 8–10 passengers with roughly 3,600 nm range. Pilatus models are in a different class. The PC-12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft, typically 6–9 passengers with about 1,500–1,800 nm range. The PC-24 is a light jet, typically 6–10 passengers with roughly 2,000 nm range.
