Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Leonardo Aw189

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are long‑range business jets, while the Agusta/Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter typically used for offshore transport, SAR, and VIP shuttle missions rather than intercontinental travel. In range, the Global 7500 leads with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling true ultra‑long‑haul flights between far‑apart city pairs. The Falcon 8X is also intercontinental at about 6,450 nautical miles, trading some range for three‑engine redundancy and strong short/steep approach capability. The AW189’s range is much shorter, on the order of roughly 450–500 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves, but it can operate to helipads and remote sites without runways. For passenger capacity, the Global 7500 is typically arranged for about 8–16 passengers, the Falcon 8X commonly about 8–14, both with stand‑up cabins and long‑duration comfort. The AW189 can carry more people in a transport layout, often around 16–19, but with a different comfort standard and mission focus.
