Bombardier Global 7500 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Robinson R66

The Bombardier Global 7500 is a long‑range, ultra‑long‑haul business jet designed for intercontinental missions. It typically carries about 8–19 passengers depending on cabin layout and offers roughly 7,700 nautical miles of range, making it suitable for nonstop city pairs like New York–Hong Kong in favorable conditions. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a large, twin‑engine medium helicopter aimed at offshore transport and SAR/utility roles. It commonly seats about 16–19 passengers in a high‑density configuration (fewer in VIP) and has an operational range on the order of 450–500 nautical miles, varying with payload and reserves. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed turboprop business aircraft, generally configured for 6–9 passengers, with a typical range around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, bridging regional trips faster than many turboprops. The Robinson R66 is a light, single‑engine helicopter suited to private, training, and light utility work. It seats a pilot plus up to four passengers and typically ranges about 300–350 nautical miles depending on conditions.
