Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700

All four are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they split into two rough tiers. The Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G650ER sit at the very top for intercontinental reach, with the Global 8000 typically cited around an 8,000‑nautical‑mile class range and the G650ER about 7,500 nautical miles, making them best suited for the longest nonstop city pairs. The Gulfstream G700 is also ultra‑long‑range but is generally positioned slightly below those peak-range figures at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, while emphasizing a larger, more flexible cabin. The Gulfstream G600 is in the large‑cabin, long‑range category rather than the very longest-range class, with a range around 6,600 nautical miles. In passenger capacity, all can be configured for high-density seating, but typical executive layouts differ: the Global 8000 commonly seats about 8–19, the G600 about 10–16, the G650ER about 11–18, and the G700 about 10–19, with the G700 usually offering the most spacious multi-zone arrangements.
