Dassault Falcon 8x vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range, large‑cabin business jet designed primarily for intercontinental travel. It typically seats around 12–16 passengers in executive configurations and offers roughly 6,400 nautical miles of range, making it well suited to nonstop missions such as North America to Europe or deep transcontinental routes. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a “light/medium” business jet optimized for flexibility, including operations from shorter or less‑prepared runways. It generally carries about 6–10 passengers in executive layouts and provides approximately 2,000 nautical miles of range, fitting regional and short‑to‑midrange city pairs rather than true long‑haul flying. The Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a medium twin helicopter focused on vertical‑lift access for offshore, utility, and VIP transport. It commonly carries about 16–19 passengers (depending on fit) but has a much shorter range than the jets, typically on the order of 450–500 nautical miles, trading speed and distance for the ability to land where runways are unavailable.
