Bombardier Global 8000 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G800 1

Bombardier’s Global 8000 and Gulfstream’s G800 sit in the ultra-long-range category, aimed at near–top-of-market intercontinental missions, while Embraer’s Praetor 600 is a super-midsize jet designed for long transcontinental flying with lower acquisition and operating footprints. On range, the Global 8000 is positioned at roughly 8,000 nautical miles, the G800 is in a similar ultra-long-range bracket at about 8,000 nautical miles (often cited slightly higher), and the Praetor 600 is substantially shorter at about 4,000 nautical miles. Passenger capacity follows the same hierarchy: the Global 8000 and G800 typically seat around 15–19 passengers depending on layout, with maximum configurations higher but less common in comfort-focused cabins; the Praetor 600 commonly carries about 8–12 passengers. In practical terms, Global 8000 and G800 compete for nonstop city pairs such as New York–Dubai or Los Angeles–Sydney (winds permitting), while the Praetor 600 targets missions more like New York–London or coast-to-coast U.S. with ample reserves.
