Bombardier Global 7500 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Piper M600 Sls
The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range, ultra‑long‑haul business jet designed for intercontinental missions. It offers the greatest range of the group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically carries about 14–19 passengers depending on configuration, emphasizing comfort over short‑field versatility. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a twin‑engine medium helicopter optimized for offshore and utility roles rather than point‑to‑point jet travel. Its range is much shorter, roughly 450–500 nautical miles (mission‑dependent), and it typically seats around 16–19 passengers in a transport layout. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed turboprop aircraft that bridges efficiency and performance for regional business travel. Its range is about 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, and it generally seats 6–9 passengers. The Piper M600 SLS is a single‑engine, pressurized turboprop positioned for owner‑pilot and light business use. It has a range around 1,500 nautical miles and typically carries 5–6 passengers.
