Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 sit in the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet category, built for nonstop intercontinental missions. The Global 7500 is typically quoted around 7,700 nautical miles of range and commonly carries about 8 to 14 passengers in executive layouts, while the G700 is typically quoted around 7,500 nautical miles and often seats roughly 10 to 19 depending on configuration. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a long-range, large-cabin business jet but a step below the ultra-long-range pair; it is commonly listed at about 3,900 to 4,000 nautical miles and usually seats about 10 to 13 in corporate configurations (with higher maximums possible). The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single-engine turboprop utility aircraft rather than a business jet; it is designed for short-to-medium regional flying, with range commonly around 900 to 1,200 nautical miles and typical seating of about 9 to 14 passengers depending on interior and regulations.
