Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a large, long‑range business airliner category aircraft, typically configured for roughly 25–50 passengers in VIP layouts (and more in high‑density), with intercontinental capability around 6,000–6,600 nautical miles depending on configuration. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop business aircraft in the light/midsize corporate category, commonly seating about 6–8 passengers, with a typical range around 1,400–1,800 nautical miles. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine turboprop in the personal/light business category, usually carrying 1 pilot plus up to 5 passengers (up to 6 seats total), with a typical range around 1,200–1,500 nautical miles. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter used for VIP, utility, and offshore roles; it generally carries about 12–16 passengers depending on interior, but its range is much shorter than fixed‑wing aircraft, typically on the order of 400–500 nautical miles (variable with reserves and load). Overall, BBJ MAX 9 leads in range and capacity, AW189 leads in vertical access, while Avanti EVO and M600 SLS fit shorter regional missions with smaller groups.
