Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G400

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G400 are both large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they sit in different parts of the ultra/long-range spectrum. The Global 7500 is generally positioned as an ultra-long-range flagship, designed for the longest intercontinental missions, with published range around 7,700 nautical miles, enabling city pairs such as New York–Hong Kong or Los Angeles–Sydney with appropriate conditions. The Gulfstream G400 is a newer large-cabin entrant aimed at transoceanic capability but typically shorter-legged than the 7500, with a published range around 4,200 nautical miles, supporting missions like New York–London with reserves depending on winds and payload. In passenger capacity, both can be configured flexibly, but the Global 7500 usually accommodates more in comfort across multiple living zones, commonly arranged for about 8 to 16 passengers (with higher maximums in dense layouts). The G400 is typically configured for roughly 8 to 12 passengers, emphasizing a large cabin experience and Gulfstream’s cabin altitude and ride qualities.
