Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Cessna Citation Latitude vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Cessna Citation Latitude sit in the super‑midsize category, aimed at efficient domestic and near‑international missions. The Challenger 3500 typically offers roughly 3,200 nautical miles of range and is commonly configured for about 8–10 passengers, with maximum seating higher in denser layouts. The Citation Latitude, a large‑cabin midsize/super‑midsize entry, is generally around 2,700 nautical miles of range and is usually arranged for about 8–9 passengers. The Gulfstream G280 is also a super‑midsize jet but emphasizes longer legs and speed; it is commonly cited around 3,600 nautical miles of range and typically seats about 8–10 passengers in an executive layout. The Gulfstream G400 steps up into the large‑cabin, long‑range category. It offers substantially more cabin volume and intercontinental capability, with a published range around 4,200 nautical miles and typical seating for about 10–12 passengers (with higher maximums possible), making it better suited to longer nonstop city pairs than the other three.
