Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700

The Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range class, typically carrying about 13–16 passengers. The Global 5500 offers roughly 5,900 nautical miles of range, while the G500 is similar but a bit shorter at about 5,300 nautical miles, making both well suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and many North Atlantic pairings depending on winds and payload. Stepping up, the Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range large-cabin benchmark, generally configured for about 14–19 passengers with around 7,500 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G700 is the newest, largest-cabin Gulfstream in this set and remains ultra-long-range at about 7,750 nautical miles, commonly laid out for roughly 13–19 passengers with more living zones. At the top end, the Bombardier Global 8000 is positioned as a flagship ultra-long-range business jet, typically around 13–19 passengers, with about 8,000 nautical miles of range, targeting the longest nonstop city pairs among these aircraft.
