Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800"
By category, the Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize jet, while the Gulfstream G400 sits in the large-cabin, long-range class. The Gulfstream G500 and G600 are large-cabin, long-range jets, stepping up in cabin size, payload flexibility, and typical mission length. The Gulfstream G650ER, G700, and Gulfstream G800 are ultra-long-range, large-cabin flagships, with the G700 emphasizing the biggest cabin and the G800 emphasizing maximum range. The Bombardier Global 8000 is also an ultra-long-range flagship, competing most directly with the G800 and G700 at the top end. On range, the G280 is shortest-range among this group; the G400, G500, and G600 progressively extend capability into true intercontinental missions. The G650ER remains a benchmark for ultra-long-range, but the Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 push furthest, with the G700 close behind, optimized for long-range with a larger cabin. On passenger capacity, the G280 typically carries the fewest. The G400/G500/G600 generally accommodate more in larger cabins. The G650ER, G700, G800, and Global 8000 offer the highest typical and maximum capacities, with the G700 often configured for the most passengers thanks to its longest cabin.
