Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800
All six are long‑range, large‑cabin business jets, but they span two range tiers. The Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G650ER sit in the “ultra‑long‑range” category: both are designed for intercontinental missions, with the G650ER generally offering the longer published range, while typical passenger capacity for each is in the mid‑teens, commonly around 14–17 depending on layout. The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 step up into the top “flagship large‑cabin” tier, pairing bigger cabins with longer legs; they’re typically configured for roughly 14–19 passengers, with published ranges around the mid‑7,000‑nautical‑mile class. At the very top, the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 represent the newest maximum‑range offerings, aimed at the longest nonstop city pairs; both are marketed around the 8,000‑nautical‑mile class, with passenger counts again usually in the mid‑teens but configurable higher depending on cabin density.
