The Bombardier Challenger 650 is a super‑midsize jet, typically seating about 8–12 passengers, with transcontinental range around 4,000 nautical miles. The Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 also sit in the super‑midsize class, generally carrying about 8–12; the Praetor 600 offers roughly 4,000+ nm range, while the G280 is similar at about 3,600–4,000 nm depending on mission. Cessna’s Citation Latitude is midsize, usually 7–9 passengers, with about 2,700 nm range, while the Citation Longitude steps up to super‑midsize, commonly 8–12 passengers, with roughly 3,500 nm range. Dassault’s Falcon 2000S and 2000LXS are large‑cabin jets; both typically seat about 8–12, with the 2000S around 3,300–3,400 nm and the 2000LXS around 4,000 nm. The Bombardier Global 5500 is a long‑range large‑cabin jet, often 10–16 passengers, with about 5,900 nm range, clearly leading this group for nonstop city‑pair flexibility.
