Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500

The Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 compete in the super-midsize category, while the Gulfstream G500 is a larger, long-range large-cabin business jet. In range, the Praetor 600 is typically around 4,000 nautical miles, the G280 is similar at roughly 3,600–3,800 nautical miles, and the G500 steps up to about 5,200 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs and greater routing flexibility. For passenger capacity, all three are commonly configured for about 8 to 10 passengers in typical corporate layouts, but the G500’s bigger cabin more comfortably supports higher-density arrangements (often up to the mid-teens depending on configuration) and offers more space per passenger for longer missions. Overall, Praetor 600 and G280 are closest in mission profile and size, whereas the G500 is positioned above them for longer range and a roomier cabin experience.
