Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800'
Commercial aircraft can be compared first by category. Regional aircraft, typically turboprops and small regional jets, are optimized for short routes and frequent cycles; they usually fly roughly 200–1,500 miles and carry about 30–90 passengers. Single-aisle narrow-body jets, common on domestic and short international networks, balance efficiency and flexibility, often covering about 1,500–3,500 miles with typical seating around 120–220 passengers depending on layout. Wide-body twin-aisle aircraft serve long-haul markets, offering greater fuel capacity, cargo volume, and cabin space; they commonly fly about 4,000–8,500 miles and carry roughly 250–400 passengers. At the top end, very large wide-bodies are designed for high-density trunk routes between major hubs, where demand supports more seats per departure; these generally operate in similar long-range bands but can seat around 400–600+ passengers. Across all categories, actual range and capacity vary with engine option, cabin configuration, payload, and route conditions such as winds and airport altitude.
