Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream Giv Sp
The Gulfstream G280 is a super‑midsize jet, typically seating about 8–10 passengers, with an intercontinental-capable range around 3,600–3,800 nautical miles, suited to shorter transoceanic and many coast‑to‑coast missions. The Gulfstream G400 steps into the large‑cabin category, generally configured for about 10–12 passengers, with range roughly in the 4,100–4,200 nautical mile class. The Gulfstream G500 and G600 are long‑range large‑cabin aircraft; the G500 commonly seats about 12–14 with around 5,200 nautical miles of range, while the G600 typically carries about 12–16 with about 6,500 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop intercontinental city pairs. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range flagship in the large‑cabin class, often arranged for about 14–19 passengers, with approximately 7,500 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G700 is the newest ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin model, usually configured for about 13–19 passengers, with around 7,750 nautical miles of range and a larger, more flexible cabin than the G650ER.
