Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Robinson R66

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet derived from the 737 MAX 9. It is designed for intercontinental missions, offering the greatest range of the four (roughly 3,200–3,500 nautical miles, depending on configuration) and the highest passenger capacity, typically arranged for about 25–50 in VIP layouts but capable of far more in airline seating. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop business aircraft optimized for efficient point‑to‑point travel. Its range is medium compared with the BBJ (about 1,400–1,700 nautical miles) and passenger capacity is small, generally 4–6 passengers plus a pilot. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a large twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore transport and utility/VIP roles. It has shorter range than fixed‑wing options (often around 450–500 nautical miles, mission‑dependent) and typically carries about 12–16 passengers. The Robinson R66 is a light single‑engine helicopter for personal, training, and light utility use, with the shortest range (about 300–350 nautical miles) and the smallest capacity, usually 4 passengers plus a pilot.
