Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G800 1

The Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G600 sit in the large-cabin, long-range class, while the Cessna Citation Longitude is a super-midsize jet, and the Gulfstream G800 is an ultra-long-range flagship. In typical configurations, the Citation Longitude carries about 8–12 passengers and is best suited to transcontinental missions with roughly 3,500–4,000 nautical miles of range. The Global 6500 steps up to a true long-range profile, commonly seating about 12–16, with about 6,000–6,600 nautical miles depending on conditions and fit. The Gulfstream G600 is similarly in the long-range large-cabin bracket, typically arranged for about 12–16 passengers, with around 6,200 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G800 leads the group as an ultra-long-range aircraft, usually configured for roughly 12–19 passengers, and designed for approximately 8,000 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs and greater schedule flexibility than the others.
