Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is an airliner-derived VIP transport in the large-cabin/head‑of‑state category, offering intercontinental range typically around 6,000–6,500 nautical miles depending on fit and payload, and the highest passenger capacity of the group—often configured for roughly 25–50+ passengers, with far more possible in dense layouts. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range business jet designed for nonstop intercontinental missions, with a published range of about 7,700 nautical miles and a typical executive capacity around 14–19 passengers. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin business jet with transoceanic capability but shorter legs than the Global, offering about 3,900 nautical miles of range and typically seating around 13 passengers in executive configuration. The Piaggio Avanti EVO sits in the twin‑turboprop business aircraft category; it is best for regional missions, with roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range and a typical capacity around 6–7 passengers.
