Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream Giv
The Gulfstream G280 is the smallest of this group, positioned as a super-midsize jet with roughly a 3,600‑nm class range and typically accommodating about 8–10 passengers. The Gulfstream G400 steps up into the large-cabin segment, offering a longer roughly 4,200‑nm class range and usually seating around 10–12 in a more spacious cabin. The Gulfstream G500 and G600 are newer-generation large-cabin aircraft: the G500 is a long-range large-cabin jet in about the 5,300‑nm class with typical seating around 12–14, while the G600 adds capability and space with roughly a 6,600‑nm class range and often 12–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range flagship with about a 7,500‑nm class range and generally 14–16 passengers, optimized for very long nonstop missions. The Gulfstream G700 is the largest and most capable here in cabin comfort, also ultra-long-range at roughly a 7,750‑nm class range, typically carrying about 14–19 passengers depending on layout.
