Gulfstream’s G600 is large‑cabin/long‑range, generally 10–16 passengers, at about 6,600 nm. The G650ER is ultra‑long‑range, typically 10–18 passengers, around 7,500 nm. The newer Gulfstream G700 is ultra‑long‑range with a very large cabin, often 12–19 passengers, around 7,500 nm. The Gulfstream G800 targets maximum endurance in the line, an ultra‑long‑range jet typically 10–19 passengers, around 8,000 nm. Actual capacity and range vary with layout, payload, and conditions.
