Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Embraer Legacy 650E and Gulfstream G700 are large-cabin business jets, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a light-to-super-midsize “utility” jet, and the Leonardo (Agusta) AW189 is a twin‑engine helicopter rather than a fixed‑wing aircraft. In range terms, the G700 is the long-haul leader at roughly 7,500+ nautical miles, suited to true intercontinental missions. The Legacy 650E is a long-range heavy jet but a step below, around 3,900 nautical miles. The PC-24 is designed for flexibility and short/rough-field access with a moderate range around 2,000 nautical miles (depending on payload and reserves). The AW189’s range is far shorter than the jets, typically on the order of 450–500 nautical miles, reflecting helicopter performance. For passenger capacity, the G700 typically seats about 13–19, the Legacy 650E about 13–14 (often up to the mid-teens), and the PC-24 commonly 6–10 in executive layouts (up to around 11). The AW189 can carry roughly 16–19 passengers in high-density configurations, though VIP layouts usually seat fewer.
