Boeing Bbj 787 vs Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Gulfstream G700

Boeing’s BBJ 787 sits in the “VVIP widebody” category, offering true intercontinental, near–global reach and the greatest cabin volume. Typical corporate configurations range broadly but often fall around 25 to 50 passengers with extensive lounge, stateroom, and conference areas; range is roughly in the ~9,500–10,000+ nautical mile class depending on variant and outfitting. The BBJ MAX 9 is a “large narrowbody business jetliner,” generally suited to transcontinental and many transoceanic missions but with less range and space than the 787. It typically carries more people than purpose-built business jets—often about 30 to 60 passengers in VIP layouts—while offering range in the roughly ~6,000–6,600 nautical mile class (operator-config dependent). The Gulfstream G700 is a “top-tier purpose-built business jet,” optimized for fast, long-range point-to-point travel with premium cabin comfort but far less total cabin volume than either BBJ. Typical layouts are around 13 to 19 passengers (with higher-density options), and range is about ~7,500 nautical miles.
