Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Gulfstream G600

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G600 are large-cabin, long-range business jets aimed at intercontinental missions, while the Cessna Citation CJ4 is a light jet optimized for shorter trips and lower operating complexity. In range terms, the Global 7500 leads the group at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling ultra-long-haul city pairs with fewer stops. The Gulfstream G600 follows with about 6,600 nautical miles, also firmly in the long-range category but generally shorter-legged than the Global 7500. The Citation CJ4 is in a different class, offering around 2,000 nautical miles, well-suited to regional and medium-length flights rather than transoceanic routes. Passenger capacity also reflects the categories: the Global 7500 typically seats about 14–19 passengers depending on layout, the G600 commonly accommodates around 13–17, and the CJ4 is usually configured for about 7–10 passengers. Overall, the CJ4 prioritizes efficiency for smaller groups, while the Global 7500 and G600 prioritize cabin space and long-distance capability.
