Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a VIP airliner category aircraft based on the 737 MAX 9, offering the longest reach of this group at roughly 6,000–6,500 nautical miles and typically carrying a custom luxury layout for about 25–50 passengers (while the underlying airframe can seat far more in airline form). The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet, broadly comparable in range at about 7,000–7,500 nautical miles, usually configured for around 12–19 passengers with significant space for sleeping and multiple living zones. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a light/medium twin‑turboprop business aircraft, optimized for speed and efficiency on shorter missions, with roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range and seating typically around 6–9 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high-performance personal/business category, carrying about 4–6 passengers and offering roughly 1,400–1,700 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves.
