Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Pilatus Pc 24 vs Piper M600 Sls

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, airliner-derived VIP transport in the “bizliner” category, built for intercontinental missions. It offers by far the greatest range of the four (typically on the order of roughly 6,000+ nautical miles depending on configuration) and the highest passenger capacity, often laid out for a few dozen passengers in luxury rather than the 100+ seats of an airline cabin. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long-range large-cabin business jet. It has transoceanic-capable range but notably less than a BBJ (roughly mid‑3,000 nm class) and typically seats around 13 passengers in an executive layout. The Pilatus PC-24 is a “super versatile jet” aimed at flexible operations, including shorter or less-improved runways. Its range is generally in the ~2,000 nm class, with typical seating around 6–10 passengers depending on interior. The Piper M600 SLS is a single-engine turboprop in the personal/light business category. It has the shortest range here (roughly ~1,000–1,500 nm class) and usually carries about 4–6 passengers.
