Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra‑long‑range business jets designed for intercontinental missions. The Global 7500 typically offers about 7,700 nautical miles of range with a practical passenger load often around 14–19, while the G700 is in a similar category at roughly 7,500 nautical miles and commonly configured for about 13–19 passengers. Both prioritize high cruise speed, large cabins, and nonstop city‑pair capability. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a super‑medium helicopter, not a fixed‑wing aircraft, optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility transport. Its range is far shorter than the big jets—generally a few hundred nautical miles depending on payload and tanks—and it typically carries around 16–19 passengers in high‑density seating (fewer in VIP layouts). The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a turboprop business aircraft positioned below the long‑range jets. It offers medium range (roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, mission‑dependent) and usually seats about 7–9 passengers, trading intercontinental reach for efficient short‑to‑midrange performance and access to smaller airports.
