Bombardier Global 5500 vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Lineage 1000e vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er

By category, the Bombardier Global 5500, Gulfstream G500, and Gulfstream G600 sit in the large-cabin, long-range segment, balancing intercontinental capability with slightly smaller cabins than the very largest jets. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range flagship, optimized for the longest nonstop missions. Embraer’s Legacy 650E is best described as a large-cabin jet with “super-midsize roots,” offering transoceanic capability on many routes but generally shorter range than the Global and larger Gulfstreams. The Embraer Lineage 1000E is a VIP airliner-style platform (based on the E190), valued for cabin volume rather than extreme range. On range, the G650ER is the clear leader (about 7,500 nm). The G600 follows (about 6,600 nm), then the Global 5500 (about 5,900 nm) and G500 (about 5,300 nm). The Legacy 650E is typically around 3,900–4,000 nm, while the Lineage 1000E is roughly 4,600 nm. On passenger capacity, typical executive layouts are highest for the Lineage 1000E (often 16–19+), then the G650ER/G600 (commonly 14–19), then Global 5500 and G500 (often 12–16), with the Legacy 650E usually around 13–14.
