Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1

All of these are large-cabin business jets, but they span upper-midsize to ultra-long-range segments. The Gulfstream G400 sits at the “large cabin, transcontinental-plus” end, offering the shortest range of this group and typically seating about 12–14 passengers. The Gulfstream G500 and G600 step up into long-range large-cabin capability, with the G600 generally offering more range than the G500; both commonly seat roughly 12–16. Moving into ultra-long-range, the Gulfstream G650ER remains a benchmark for intercontinental missions, with typical seating around 14–19. The Gulfstream G700 is a newer, larger ultra-long-range flagship with very generous cabin volume and similar typical seating (often 14–19) but optimized for comfort and productivity over very long sectors. The Gulfstream G800 targets maximum range in the lineup, edging beyond the G700 in reach while keeping a similar passenger profile. Bombardier’s Global 8000 competes at the very top end, pairing ultra-long-range performance comparable to the longest-range Gulfstreams with typical seating in the mid-to-high teens, depending on layout.
