The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is a super‑midsize jet, typically seating about 8–10 passengers, with a range around 3,400 nautical miles, best suited to regional and shorter transcontinental missions. Moving up to large‑cabin aircraft, the Bombardier Global 5500 and Global 6500 generally carry about 12–16 passengers; the 5500 offers roughly 5,900 nm of range, while the 6500 extends that to about 6,600 nm, enabling more nonstop intercontinental city pairs. In the ultra‑long‑range class, the Bombardier Global 7500 is the largest and longest‑legged of the Bombardiers listed, typically accommodating about 14–19 passengers with approximately 7,700 nm of range. Gulfstream’s G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet with a similar passenger profile (often about 13–19) and about 7,500 nm of range, emphasizing cabin volume and comfort on very long sectors. The Gulfstream G800 pushes farther, remaining ultra‑long‑range while typically seating about 12–19 passengers and offering approximately 8,000 nm of range, prioritizing maximum nonstop reach.
