Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1
All five are large-cabin, long-range business aircraft, but they split into two categories. The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty is a VIP airliner derived from the A220, typically positioned as a “bizliner” with substantially more interior volume and a higher practical passenger count than purpose-built business jets; it commonly accommodates around 18–40 passengers depending on layout, with range roughly in the 5,600–6,000 nautical mile class. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin business jet below the ultra-long-range tier, typically seating about 10–19, with range around 6,600 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range benchmark, usually 11–18 passengers, with about 7,500 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G700 is a newer ultra-long-range, very large-cabin jet, typically around 10–19 passengers, with approximately 7,500 nautical miles range. The Gulfstream G800 emphasizes maximum range in the lineup, also typically 10–19 passengers, reaching about 8,000 nautical miles, trading slightly versus the G700’s cabin/mission balance for longer legs.
