The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is a super‑midsize jet, best suited to shorter intercity missions; it typically carries about 8–10 passengers and offers roughly 3,400 nautical miles of range. Moving up, the Bombardier Global 5500 and Global 6500 are large‑cabin long‑range aircraft; both commonly seat around 12–16 passengers, with the 5500 around 5,900 nm and the 6500 around 6,600 nm. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range flagship with a larger cabin and higher typical capacity (about 14–19 passengers) and about 7,700 nm range. On the Gulfstream side, the G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range benchmark, typically 14–18 passengers with about 7,500 nm range. The Gulfstream G700 is a newer ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin model, generally 13–19 passengers with about 7,750 nm range. The Gulfstream G800 emphasizes maximum range in the line, also ultra‑long‑range, typically 12–19 passengers with about 8,000 nm range. Figures vary with cabin layout, payload, and reserves.
