Bombardier Global 5000 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600

The Bombardier Global 5000, Gulfstream G500, and Gulfstream G600 all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they ladder upward in capability from the G500 and Global 5000 to the G600. The Global 5000 is typically positioned as a large-cabin long-range jet, offering intercontinental range around the mid‑5,000 nautical mile class (roughly 5,200 nm, depending on configuration and conditions) and commonly seating about 12 to 16 passengers in executive layouts. The Gulfstream G500 is a large-cabin, long-range jet as well, generally quoted around 5,300 nm of range, with typical seating also in the 12 to 16 passenger range. The Gulfstream G600 moves into the longer-range end of the large-cabin segment, commonly cited around 6,600 nm, enabling more nonstop city pairs, while passenger capacity remains similar in most real-world corporate configurations (often 12 to 16), even though maximum certified seating can be higher depending on interior and operator choices.
