Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 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. They typically carry about 8–10 passengers, with range roughly in the 3,400–3,600 nm class, making them strong for transcontinental U.S. and many North Atlantic missions with the right conditions. Moving up, the Gulfstream G400 and Bombardier Global 5500/6500 are large‑cabin, long‑range jets. They generally accommodate about 10–16 passengers; the Global 5500 is around 5,900 nm, the Global 6500 about 6,600 nm, and the G400 is in the mid‑to‑high‑4,000 nm range, suited to frequent intercontinental city pairs. The Gulfstream G500 and G600 are also large‑cabin long‑range, commonly 12–16 passengers, with ranges around 5,300 nm and 6,600 nm respectively. At the ultra‑long‑range/top end, the Gulfstream G650ER, G700, and G800 plus the Bombardier Global 7500 deliver the longest reach and biggest cabins. Typical capacities are about 13–19 passengers; ranges are roughly 7,500 nm (G650ER), 7,750 nm (G700), 8,000 nm (Global 7500), and 8,000+ nm (G800), enabling true nonstop global missions.
