Bombardier Global 7500 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet designed for intercontinental missions, with roughly a 7,700 nautical‑mile range and typically seating about 14–19 passengers depending on layout. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin long‑range business jet suited to transoceanic or coast‑to‑coast flying, offering about a 3,900 nautical‑mile range and usually accommodating around 13 passengers. The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance single‑engine turboprop, best for shorter point‑to‑point trips and smaller groups, with roughly a 1,700‑nautical‑mile range and seating commonly 4–6 passengers plus a pilot. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility/VIP roles rather than long cruise legs; its range is roughly 450–500 nautical miles and it can carry up to about 16–19 passengers in transport configurations (VIP layouts typically fewer). Overall, the Global 7500 leads in range and cabin space, the Legacy 650E balances range with a traditional large‑cabin footprint, the TBM 960 emphasizes efficiency for small parties, and the AW189 trades speed and range for vertical access.
