Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft suited to regional and remote missions, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers with long endurance for its class, roughly up to around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large VIP airliner in a different category entirely, offering intercontinental range on the order of roughly 6,000+ nautical miles and a cabin that can be configured for a few dozen up to well over 100 passengers, though VIP layouts often emphasize space over seats. The Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin helicopter optimized for offshore, SAR, and executive shuttle roles; it typically carries about 12–16 passengers with practical ranges commonly in the ~400–500 nautical mile class, depending on payload. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop personal aircraft, generally seating 1–5 passengers plus pilot (up to 6 total), with range typically around ~1,000–1,400 nautical miles, prioritizing owner‑pilot efficiency over capacity.
