Bombardier Global 5500 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600

All four are long-range business jets, but they span different size and mission bands. The Bombardier Global 5500 is typically positioned as a large-cabin, long-range jet, offering about 5,900 nautical miles of range and commonly seating around 12–16 passengers depending on cabin layout. The Gulfstream G400 sits a step down in overall capability, generally considered a large-cabin jet with an approximate 4,200 nautical miles of range and a typical capacity in the 10–12 passenger range. The Gulfstream G500 is a long-range, large-cabin aircraft, usually quoted around 5,300 nautical miles of range, with typical seating around 12–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G600 is the most capable of the Gulfstream trio listed, a larger, longer-range large-cabin jet at roughly 6,600 nautical miles, also commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers, with more room and range margin for longer city pairs. Overall, G400 emphasizes shorter long-range missions, G500 and Global 5500 compete closely, and G600 leads on range.
