The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is a super‑midsize jet aimed at shorter intercontinental missions, offering roughly 3,400 nautical miles of range and typically seating about 8 to 10 passengers in a comfortable club-style layout. The Bombardier Challenger 650 steps into the large‑cabin category with more cabin volume and baggage capability, about 4,000 nautical miles of range, and common configurations around 9 to 12 passengers. Gulfstream’s G500 is a large‑cabin, long‑range jet with about 5,300 nautical miles of range and usually seats roughly 10 to 14 passengers, balancing speed, cabin comfort, and runway flexibility. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin flagship focused on maximum cabin space, typically accommodating about 13 to 19 passengers with roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G800 is also ultra‑long‑range but emphasizes maximum range over cabin length, reaching about 8,000 nautical miles while typically seating about 12 to 19 passengers, making it the strongest option here for the longest nonstop city pairs.
