Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400

Embraer’s Praetor 600 and Gulfstream’s G280 are best viewed as super‑midsize business jets, while the Gulfstream G400 is a larger, long‑range large‑cabin jet. In range, the Praetor 600 and G280 are broadly similar: the Praetor 600 is typically cited around 4,000 nautical miles, and the G280 around 3,600 nautical miles, making both well suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and many North Atlantic city pairs with favorable winds and payload. The G400 steps up substantially, with published range around 4,200 nautical miles, offering more consistent long‑haul capability and greater mission flexibility. For passenger capacity, all three commonly fly with about 8 to 10 passengers in typical executive layouts. The Praetor 600 and G280 are often configured for roughly 8 to 10, with max seating in the low teens depending on layout. The G400 generally accommodates similar typical loads (often around 10) but does so in a larger cabin, with higher potential maximum seating and more comfort and baggage volume on longer flights.
