Bombardier’s Global 7500 and upcoming Global 8000 sit in the ultra-long-range, large-cabin class. The Global 7500 is typically cited around 7,700 nautical miles with seating commonly configured for roughly 14–19 passengers, while the Global 8000 is positioned as the longer-range variant at about 8,000 nautical miles with broadly similar large-cabin capacity. Gulfstream’s G280 is a super-midsize jet, shorter-range than the others here, typically around 3,600 nautical miles and often configured for about 8–10 passengers. The forthcoming G400 and the G500 are large-cabin, long-range jets; the G400 is positioned around the low-4,000+ nautical-mile range, while the G500 is commonly cited near 5,300 nautical miles, with typical seating around 12–16. The G600 is large-cabin, long-range at roughly 6,600 nautical miles, with similar 12–17 passenger layouts. The G650ER remains an ultra-long-range benchmark around 7,500 nautical miles with about 14–19 seats. The G700 is ultra-long-range at about 7,750 nautical miles with similar capacity. The upcoming G800 targets roughly 8,000 nautical miles, aligning closely with the Global 8000 at the top end.
