Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are long‑range, large‑cabin business jets, while the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a smaller, faster‑than‑typical turboprop business aircraft, and the Leonardo AW189 is a medium twin‑engine helicopter suited to point‑to‑point access where runways are unavailable. In range, the G700 generally leads with roughly 7,500+ nautical miles, enabling ultra‑long nonstop city pairs; the Falcon 8X follows at about 6,450 nautical miles, still firmly intercontinental. The Avanti EVO is typically around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, aimed at regional missions with efficient cruise. The AW189’s practical range is much shorter, commonly on the order of 450–500 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves. For passenger capacity, the G700 and Falcon 8X usually seat about 12–16 in executive layouts (maximums can be higher), emphasizing space and comfort. The Avanti EVO commonly carries about 6–9 passengers in a business configuration. The AW189 typically accommodates around 16–19 passengers in high‑density transport, or fewer in VIP/offshore layouts.
