Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1
Commercial aircraft are often compared by category, which largely determines typical range and passenger capacity. Regional aircraft, including turboprops and small regional jets, are designed for short to medium routes; they commonly carry about 30 to 100 passengers and usually fly roughly 200 to 2,000 kilometers, prioritizing frequent service to smaller airports. Narrow-body airliners are the mainstay of short- to medium-haul networks and some lower-density long routes; they typically seat around 120 to 240 passengers, with ranges often spanning about 3,000 to 6,500 kilometers depending on variant and payload. Wide-body aircraft serve long-haul and high-demand trunk routes; they generally accommodate about 250 to 400+ passengers and can fly approximately 7,000 to 15,000 kilometers, enabling intercontinental service with greater cargo capacity. At the top end, very large wide-bodies emphasize maximum capacity on slot-constrained routes; they can carry roughly 450 to 600+ passengers in high-density layouts, with long-haul ranges comparable to other wide-bodies but optimized for moving more people per flight.
