Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range business jet designed for intercontinental missions, offering roughly 7,700 nautical miles of range and typically seating about 14 to 19 passengers depending on cabin configuration. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin, long-range business jet suited to transoceanic but shorter missions than the Global, with about 3,900 nautical miles of range and a typical capacity of around 13 passengers. The Leonardo (AgustaWestland) AW189 is a super-medium helicopter focused on offshore, SAR, and utility/VIP roles; its range is far shorter than the jets at roughly 450 to 500 nautical miles (mission-dependent), and it commonly carries about 16 to 19 passengers in transport layouts. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high-speed turboprop business aircraft that bridges jet-like cruise with turboprop efficiency, offering around 1,700 to 1,900 nautical miles of range and typically seating about 7 to 9 passengers. Overall, the Global 7500 leads on range and cabin space, the Legacy 650E balances cabin size with lower trip length, the AW189 trades speed and range for vertical access, and the Avanti EVO emphasizes efficiency for shorter regional missions.
