Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G700 are ultra‑long‑range business jets, while the Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super‑medium twin‑engine helicopter aimed at offshore transport, SAR, and executive shuttle missions rather than intercontinental travel. In range, the Global 7500 leads at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, the Falcon 8X follows at about 6,450 nautical miles, and the G700 is in the same top tier at about 7,500 nautical miles, all enabling nonstop city pairs such as New York–Hong Kong or Los Angeles–London depending on conditions and payload. The AW189’s range is much shorter—on the order of a few hundred nautical miles (typically ~450 nm class depending on configuration and reserves)—but it offers vertical takeoff/landing and access to helipads and remote sites. For passenger capacity, these jets commonly seat around 12–16 in typical executive layouts (with higher maximum certified counts), whereas the AW189 generally carries about 16–19 passengers in high‑density transport or fewer in VIP configurations.
