Embraer Praetor 500 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G800 1

Embraer’s Praetor 500 and Gulfstream’s G280 sit in the super-midsize category, while the Gulfstream G800 is an ultra-long-range, large-cabin flagship. The Praetor 500 typically offers about 3,340 nautical miles of range, making it well suited to transcontinental missions and some transatlantic pairings with favorable winds. The G280 is also super-midsize and generally ranges around 3,600 nautical miles, giving it slightly more reach for longer city pairs. In passenger capacity, both the Praetor 500 and G280 are commonly configured for roughly 8 to 10 passengers in a typical executive layout, with maximum seating options higher depending on interior choices. The G800 steps into a different class entirely, with published range around 8,000 nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental nonstop flights. Its cabin is substantially larger, with typical configurations often seating about 12 to 16 passengers (and more in high-density layouts), emphasizing long-haul comfort, multiple living zones, and greater baggage and amenities compared with the super-midsize pair.
