Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G800 1

All four are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they split into two rough tiers. The Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G600 are “large-cabin long-range” aircraft, while the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 sit in the “ultra-long-range/flagship” class with notably more reach. On range, the Global 6500 and G600 are broadly comparable, both typically quoted around the mid‑6,000‑nautical‑mile class (roughly 6,600 nm for the Global 6500 and about 6,600 nm for the G600). The Global 8000 and G800 extend that into the upper tier, commonly cited at about 8,000 nm for the Global 8000 and about 8,000 nm for the G800. On passenger capacity, all can be configured for a similar number of occupants, but typical layouts differ. The Global 6500 and G600 are often arranged for about 13–15 passengers, while the Global 8000 and G800 tend to be marketed with similar typical counts yet can be configured to carry more, often in the mid-to-high teens depending on cabin layout.
