Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range business jets designed for intercontinental missions. Both offer ranges around 7,500 nautical miles class (roughly 13,900 km), with typical cabin configurations seating about 12–16 passengers, and high-density layouts pushing closer to 18–19 depending on operator choices. The Global 7500 is often positioned around maximum range and cabin length, while the G700 emphasizes a very large, flexible cabin and high-speed long-haul capability in the same general segment. The Pilatus PC-24 is a “super versatile” light/medium business jet aimed at shorter missions and rough-field access. Its range is roughly 2,000 nautical miles class (about 3,700 km) and it typically carries about 6–10 passengers, trading ocean-spanning reach for operational flexibility and lower trip costs. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a twin-engine medium helicopter, not a jet, optimized for offshore, SAR, and utility transport. Its range is roughly 450–500 nautical miles class (about 830–930 km) and it typically seats around 16–19 passengers in a high-density layout, prioritizing vertical lift over speed and range.
