Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super‑midsize category, typically carrying about 8–10 passengers and offering roughly 3,400–3,600 nautical miles of range, suiting transcontinental missions and some shorter transatlantic pairings. Moving into large‑cabin, long‑range aircraft, the Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500 and the Gulfstream G400, G500, and G600 generally seat about 10–14 passengers with approximately 4,200–6,600 nautical miles of range, enabling many North Atlantic routes and deeper international capability. In the ultra‑long‑range flagship tier, the Gulfstream G650ER and the Bombardier Global 7500, Global 8000, plus Gulfstream G700 and G800 are built for 12–19 passengers (depending on layout) and roughly 7,500–8,000+ nautical miles of range, targeting true intercontinental nonstop missions. Within that top tier, Global 7500 and G700 emphasize very large cabins with long reach, while Global 8000 and G800 push the longest advertised ranges; G650ER remains a proven benchmark for high‑speed, long‑distance travel.
