Bombardier Global 5500 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Pilatus Pc 24

In category, the Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 are long-range large-cabin business jets aimed at intercontinental missions, while the Gulfstream G400 sits slightly below them as a large-cabin, long-range jet optimized for transoceanic but generally shorter missions than the 5500/G500 class. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet (often positioned as a “super versatile” light/medium crossover) with a smaller cabin and a mission profile focused on regional to mid-range flying, including access to shorter runways. For range, the Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 are broadly comparable at roughly 5,900–6,500 nautical miles depending on configuration and reserves, enabling many nonstop intercontinental city pairs. The Gulfstream G400 is typically around the mid‑4,000 nautical mile class, suitable for many Atlantic crossings but not as far-reaching as the 5500 or G500. The PC-24 is markedly shorter-range, roughly around 2,000 nautical miles class. For passenger capacity, the Global 5500 and G500 commonly seat about 13–16, the G400 about 12–15, and the PC-24 typically about 6–10.
