Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, long‑range business jet derived from an airliner, suited to head‑of‑state or corporate shuttle missions where a spacious cabin and higher passenger counts matter most. It can typically fly roughly 6,000+ nautical miles with a VIP configuration and commonly carries on the order of 15–50 passengers depending on layout, far exceeding the others in cabin volume and seating flexibility. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high‑performance personal/business category, optimized for efficient point‑to‑point travel into smaller airports. Its range is typically around 1,400–1,700 nautical miles, and seating is usually 4–6 passengers (plus pilot), prioritizing speed and operating economy over cabin size. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑engine turboprop business aircraft that bridges light‑jet comfort with turboprop efficiency. It generally offers about 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range and typically seats about 6–9 passengers, providing more cabin and passenger capacity than the TBM 960 while remaining far smaller and shorter‑range than the BBJ MAX 9.
