Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500

The Embraer Praetor 600 sits in the super-midsize category, while the Gulfstream G400 is positioned as a large-cabin jet and the Gulfstream G500 is a higher-tier long-range large-cabin model. In range, the Praetor 600 is typically quoted around 4,000 nautical miles, making it well suited to transcontinental and select transatlantic missions. The G400 is designed to go farther—about 4,200 nautical miles—pairing a true large-cabin experience with solid intercontinental capability. The G500 steps up again, commonly cited near 5,300 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs and greater operational flexibility, particularly against headwinds or with heavier passenger and baggage loads. For passenger capacity, the Praetor 600 is generally configured for roughly 8 to 12 passengers, the G400 for about 10 to 12 (with maximum layouts higher), and the G500 commonly for about 12 to 16, with maximum certified seating higher depending on configuration. Actual performance and seating vary by interior and mission profile.
