These nine business jets span the super‑midsize to large‑cabin categories. In the super‑midsize class, the Cessna Citation Latitude offers roughly 2,700 nautical miles of range and typically carries 8–9 passengers, while the Embraer Praetor 600 stretches to about 4,000 nm with a similar 8–10 passenger typical load. The Gulfstream G280 is also super‑midsize, around 3,600 nm, typically 8–10 passengers. The Cessna Citation Longitude sits at the top of super‑midsize, about 3,500 nm and commonly 8–12 passengers. Moving into large‑cabin, the Bombardier Challenger 650 is a long‑range large‑cabin jet at about 4,000 nm, typically 8–12 passengers. The Dassault Falcon 2000S is a large‑cabin jet with roughly 3,350 nm range, while the Falcon 2000LXS is similar but longer‑legged at about 4,000 nm; both are commonly configured for 8–10 passengers. At the higher end of large‑cabin/long‑range, the Bombardier Global 5500 reaches about 5,900 nm and typically carries 10–14 passengers. The Gulfstream G400 is a new long‑range large‑cabin model around 4,200 nm, typically about 10–12 passengers.
