Cessna Citation Longitude vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G800 1

The Cessna Citation Longitude is a super‑midsize business jet, typically seating about 8–12 passengers, with roughly 3,500 nautical miles of range, aimed at transcontinental U.S. and some North Atlantic missions with payload tradeoffs. The Gulfstream G280 is also super‑midsize, usually configured for about 8–10, and offers a longer reach around 3,600–3,700 nautical miles, making it strong for longer U.S. coast‑to‑coast and some Atlantic pairings. The Dassault Falcon 7X is a large‑cabin, long‑range trijet, commonly 12–16 passengers, with about 5,900–6,000 nautical miles, supporting many nonstop intercontinental routes. The Gulfstream G500 sits in the large‑cabin, long‑range class, often 12–16 passengers, with about 5,200 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range flagship, typically 14–19 passengers, with about 7,500 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G800 is also ultra‑long‑range, typically 14–19 passengers, and extends range further to about 8,000 nautical miles, targeting the longest city pairs with fewer stops.
