Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700

The Bombardier Global 5500 is best viewed as a large-cabin, long-range business jet optimized for intercontinental missions with a more moderate footprint than the ultra-long-range flagships. It typically offers seating for roughly 12 to 16 passengers depending on configuration, and delivers about 5,900 nautical miles of range, making it well suited to routes such as North America to Western Europe. The Bombardier Global 7500 steps up into the ultra-long-range, large-cabin category with a substantially bigger cabin and higher-end multi-zone layouts. It commonly seats around 14 to 19 passengers and is designed for approximately 7,700 nautical miles of range, enabling city pairs such as New York to Hong Kong under favorable conditions. The Gulfstream G700 competes at the top end of the ultra-long-range segment with a very large, high-comfort cabin and flexible living zones. Typical seating is also about 14 to 19 passengers, with a published range around 7,500 nautical miles, targeting similar global missions to the Global 7500 with slightly less stated range but comparable flagship capability.
