Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G600

The Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super-midsize category, while the Gulfstream G400 and G600 are large-cabin long-range jets. The Praetor 600 typically offers about 4,000 nautical miles of range and is commonly configured for around 8 to 12 passengers. The G280 is also super-midsize, generally seating about 8 to 10 passengers, with a similar roughly 3,600 to 4,000 nautical mile range depending on conditions and configuration. Moving up, the G400 is a large-cabin aircraft with a substantially longer reach—around the mid‑4,000‑nautical‑mile class—and typically carries about 10 to 14 passengers. The G600 is a larger, longer-range large-cabin jet, usually configured for roughly 12 to 16 passengers, with range around 6,000+ nautical miles. In practical terms, Praetor 600 and G280 fit high-speed transcontinental missions with smaller cabins, while the G400 and especially the G600 prioritize more space, more comfort zones, and longer nonstop city pairs.
