Bombardier Global 8000 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G800 1 vs Pilatus Pc 24

Bombardier’s Global 8000, Gulfstream’s G650ER, and Gulfstream’s G800 all sit in the ultra-long-range large-cabin category, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a smaller “super versatile jet” in the light/midsize class designed for shorter missions and rougher-field flexibility. On range, the Global 8000 and G800 are at the very top of the market, each advertised around the 8,000–8,300 nautical mile class, enabling city pairs such as New York–Dubai or Los Angeles–Sydney (missions depend on payload, winds, and reserves). The G650ER remains a benchmark ultra-long-range jet, typically quoted around 7,500 nautical miles. The PC-24 is in a different league, roughly around 2,000 nautical miles, optimized for regional and transcontinental legs rather than true intercontinental nonstop flying. For passenger capacity, the Global 8000, G650ER, and G800 commonly seat about 12–16 passengers in typical executive layouts (with higher maximum certified counts depending on configuration), whereas the PC-24 typically carries about 6–10 passengers (again configuration-dependent).
