Bombardier Global 7500 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24
By category, the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets designed for intercontinental missions, while the Embraer Legacy 650E is a long-range large-cabin jet positioned a tier below in range and cabin volume. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light-to-super-midsize “versatile jet” emphasizing short-field and rougher-airfield capability rather than maximum range. On range, the Global 7500 and G700 lead the group, each capable of roughly the mid–to–high 7,000 nautical mile class, enabling many nonstop city pairs such as North America to Asia or deep Europe. The Legacy 650E typically sits around the 3,900 nautical mile class, suited to transcontinental U.S. and many transatlantic missions with favorable winds or a stop depending on routing. The PC-24 is shorter-legged at roughly the 2,000 nautical mile class, optimized for regional and shorter cross-country trips. For passenger capacity, Global 7500 and G700 commonly seat about 12–16 in typical executive layouts (higher maximums possible). Legacy 650E is often configured around 13. PC-24 usually carries about 6–10.
