Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G650er

The Bombardier Global 5500 sits in the large-cabin category, offering roughly 5,900 nautical miles of range and typically accommodating about 8–16 passengers depending on layout. It’s geared toward long-range missions with a spacious cabin, but it’s a step below the true ultra-long-range flagships in both range and overall cabin volume. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range business jet with about 7,700 nautical miles of range and typical seating for roughly 8–19 passengers. Compared with the 5500, it adds substantially more range and a larger cabin intended for multiple living zones on very long intercontinental flights. The Gulfstream G650ER is also an ultra-long-range jet, with around 7,500 nautical miles of range and typical capacity of about 11–18 passengers. In broad terms, the G650ER competes most directly with the Global 7500 on mission length, while the 7500 generally edges it on advertised range and cabin size, and the 5500 remains the smaller, shorter-range option.
