Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G600
The Boeing BBJ 737 MAX is best viewed as an airliner-derived VIP transport: it sits in the “bizliner” category, offering the most interior volume and typically the highest passenger capacity, often configured for roughly 25 to 50 passengers (or more) depending on layout. Its range varies by BBJ 737 MAX variant, but is generally in the long-range class, commonly around 6,000 to 7,000 nautical miles, making it suitable for many intercontinental missions with a larger group. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range purpose-built business jet optimized for nonstop intercontinental flying, carrying typically about 8 to 19 passengers in executive layouts, with a published range around 7,700 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin long-range business jet positioned below the very longest-range flagships, typically seating about 10 to 19 passengers, with a published range around 6,600 nautical miles.
