Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Gulfstream G600
The Bombardier Global 7500 sits in the ultra-long-range, large-cabin category, offering the greatest range of the three at roughly 7,700 nautical miles and typically accommodating about 14–19 passengers depending on configuration. It is positioned for true intercontinental missions with more cabin volume and flexibility than the others. The Gulfstream G600 is also a large-cabin, long-range business jet, but a step below the Global 7500 in reach. Its range is about 6,600 nautical miles and it commonly carries around 13–17 passengers, balancing transoceanic capability with a slightly smaller footprint than the Global. The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super-midsize jet, optimized for efficiency and domestic-to-near-international missions. Its range is about 3,500 nautical miles and typical seating is around 8–12 passengers, with a smaller cabin than the Global 7500 and G600 but generally lower operating costs and strong performance for its class.
