Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Cessna Citation Latitude vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280

The Bombardier Challenger 3500, Cessna Citation Latitude, Embraer Praetor 600, and Gulfstream G280 all sit in the super-midsize business jet category, though the Latitude is often positioned as a “large midsize” and typically trades outright range for cabin volume and operating economy. For range, the Citation Latitude generally trails the others at roughly 2,700 nautical miles. The Challenger 3500 and Praetor 600 cluster higher, each around the mid‑3,000‑nautical‑mile class, with the Praetor 600 commonly cited at about 3,700–3,900 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves. The Gulfstream G280 is also a long‑legged super-midsize, typically around 3,600–3,800 nautical miles, making it competitive with the Praetor on longer missions. In passenger capacity, all can be configured for about 8 to 10 passengers in typical executive layouts, with maximum certified seating generally higher (often up to the mid‑teens) depending on interior and operator requirements.
