Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G800
By category, the Bombardier Global 7500 and Global 8000, along with the Gulfstream G800, sit in the ultra-long-range large-cabin class, aimed at the longest nonstop missions with high-comfort cabins. The Gulfstream G500 is a large-cabin long-range jet but a step below those three in maximum reach. The Embraer Praetor 600 is in the super-midsize category, optimized for efficient long missions with a smaller cabin footprint. On range, the Global 8000 leads at about 8,000 nautical miles, followed closely by the Global 7500 at about 7,700 nm. The Gulfstream G800 is also around 8,000 nm, placing it in the same top-tier bracket. The Gulfstream G500 is shorter-range at roughly 5,300 nm, while the Praetor 600 is around 4,000 nm. On passenger capacity, the Global 7500/8000 and Gulfstream G800 typically seat roughly 14–19 passengers depending on configuration, the Gulfstream G500 commonly around 12–16, and the Praetor 600 typically about 8–12.
