EXPERT VERDICT
The ACJ330neo pulls ahead on range / non-stop reach, cabin comfort, group capacity and speed & block time; the Lineage 1000E answers with airport access. Both sit in the vip airliner class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.
Range / non-stop reach
ACJ330neo
9,400 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
Cabin comfort
ACJ330neo
Taller and/or wider cabin (8'4" × 17'4") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.
Group capacity
ACJ330neo
Seats up to 25 — the right pick when the manifest grows.
Airport access
Lineage 1000E
Shorter 6,076 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.
Speed & block time
ACJ330neo
Cruise of Mach 0.86 — shaves meaningful minutes off every long leg.

| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → Tokyo | 5,200 nm | ACJ330neo | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (5200 nm > 4,500 nm). |
| Riyadh → New York | 5,750 nm | ACJ330neo | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (5750 nm > 4,500 nm). |
| Dubai → Sydney | 6,400 nm | ACJ330neo | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (6400 nm > 4,500 nm). |
| Paris → Cape Town | 4,950 nm | ACJ330neo | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (4950 nm > 4,500 nm). |
