Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft best suited to regional missions and short runways. It typically carries about 6–9 passengers in executive layouts and offers long endurance for its class, roughly around 2,000–2,500 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a VIP airliner based on the 737 MAX, optimized for intercontinental travel. Passenger capacity varies widely by interior fit, but it commonly supports tens of passengers in high comfort (often 25–50+) and can be configured for more. Its range is roughly in the 6,000–6,500 nautical mile class. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range purpose‑built business jet, typically carrying about 10–19 passengers with a premium cabin. It offers true intercontinental capability, generally around 7,000–7,500 nautical miles. The Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a twin‑engine medium helicopter focused on offshore, SAR, and utility roles rather than long-range cruise. It typically carries about 16–19 passengers and has a range on the order of 400–500 nautical miles.
