In category terms, the Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range class, while the Bombardier Global 7500, Gulfstream G600, and Gulfstream G650ER are ultra-long-range flagships with larger cabins and higher endurance. For range, the Global 6500 is typically cited around 6,600 nautical miles, and the G500 about 5,300 nautical miles, making them strong transcontinental-and-beyond options. The G600 steps up to roughly 6,600 nautical miles, aligning closely with the Global 6500 on paper but in a larger-aircraft tier. At the top end, the Global 7500 leads at about 7,700 nautical miles, with the G650ER close behind around 7,500 nautical miles, both optimized for the longest nonstop city pairs. Passenger capacity varies by configuration, but the Global 6500 and G500 commonly seat about 13–17, the G600 and G650ER about 14–19, and the Global 7500 often about 14–19, with higher-density layouts possible across all models.
