Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1
All five aircraft are ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jets, with the Bombardier Globals generally emphasizing maximum range and cabin volume, and the Gulfstream G-series emphasizing high-speed long-range performance with advanced cabin comfort. On range, the Bombardier Global 8000 leads the group at about 8,000 nautical miles, followed by the Global 7500 at about 7,700 nm. Gulfstream’s G800 is close behind at about 8,000 nm as well (typically cited at roughly 8,000 nm depending on assumptions), while the G650ER offers about 7,500 nm. The G700 is slightly shorter-legged at about 7,500 nm, positioning it as a high-comfort, very-long-range flagship rather than the absolute range leader. On passenger capacity, all are typically configured for roughly 13 to 19 passengers depending on layout. The Global 7500 and Global 8000 are commonly marketed around 19 passengers maximum, the G700 is often cited up to about 19, the G800 up to about 19, and the G650ER is frequently listed around 18 maximum, with real-world executive layouts usually lower for comfort and sleeping accommodations.
