Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G600

The Embraer Praetor 600 is typically positioned in the super‑midsize category, offering transatlantic-capable performance for its class with a published range around 4,000 nautical miles and a typical passenger load in the mid‑single digits to about eight, with maximum seating generally in the low teens depending on configuration. The Gulfstream G400 is a large‑cabin business jet, larger and more intercontinental in intent than the Praetor 600, with a published range around 4,200 nautical miles and a cabin that commonly seats about 10 to 12 passengers, with higher maximums available by layout. The Gulfstream G600 sits above both as a long‑range large‑cabin aircraft, aimed at true intercontinental missions, with a published range around 6,600 nautical miles and typical seating in the 12 to 14 passenger range, again varying by interior. In short, the Praetor 600 emphasizes efficient super‑midsize capability, the G400 bridges into the large‑cabin segment with strong range, and the G600 provides the greatest global reach and cabin capacity.
