Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G600

All three are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they sit in slightly different tiers. The Bombardier Global 6500 is typically positioned as a high-end large-cabin jet with intercontinental capability; its range is around 6,600 nautical miles, and it commonly seats about 13–17 passengers depending on layout. The Bombardier Global 7500 moves into the ultra-long-range flagship category, offering materially more reach at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and generally accommodating about 14–19 passengers, with more flexibility for dedicated rest areas and multiple living zones. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin, long-range competitor aimed at fast, comfortable transcontinental and many transoceanic missions; its range is about 6,600 nautical miles, and typical seating is roughly 13–17 passengers. In general terms, the Global 7500 leads on range and cabin zoning, while the Global 6500 and G600 are closer peers on range and capacity, with differences more often coming down to cabin design preferences and performance priorities on specific city pairs.
