Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 sit in the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet category, built for intercontinental missions and high-end corporate or VIP travel. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light/“super versatile” jet aimed at shorter missions, flexible operations, and access to smaller or more challenging airports. In range, the Global 7500 is typically cited around 7,700 nautical miles, while the G700 is about 7,500 nautical miles, making both capable of nonstop city pairs such as New York–Hong Kong (winds permitting, payload dependent). The PC-24 is in a different class, generally around 2,000 nautical miles, suited to regional and medium-length trips rather than globe-spanning legs. Passenger capacity also reflects the class split. The Global 7500 and G700 commonly seat roughly 13 to 19 passengers depending on configuration, with multiple living zones and dedicated rest options. The PC-24 is usually configured for about 6 to 10 passengers, prioritizing cabin flexibility and utility over maximum space and range.
