Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G700

All four are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they span two size classes. The Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 are “large-cabin” rather than “ultra-long-range” flagships; both typically seat about 12–16 passengers in executive layouts. The Global 5500 is generally quoted around 5,900 nautical miles of range, while the G500 is typically cited around 5,300 nautical miles, making the Global 5500 the longer-legged of the two. The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 sit at the top end as ultra-long-range, large-cabin flagships with larger cabins and higher typical executive capacities, commonly about 14–19 passengers (with maximum-certified seating higher). In range, the Global 7500 is usually listed around 7,700 nautical miles, placing it among the longest-range business jets. The Gulfstream G700 is typically quoted around 7,500 nautical miles, very close behind. In short: Global 5500 vs G500 is a large-cabin, 5,000–6,000 nm class comparison, while Global 7500 vs G700 is an ultra-long-range, ~7,500+ nm class comparison with more space and typically more passengers.
