Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G700

The Gulfstream G280 is a super‑midsize business jet, optimized for shorter intercontinental missions, with a typical range around 3,600 nautical miles and a usual passenger load of about 8–10. The Gulfstream G400 steps up to the large‑cabin category, offering more cabin volume and comfort for longer trips, with range roughly in the 4,000+ nautical mile class and typical seating around 10–12. The Gulfstream G600 is a long‑range large‑cabin jet, aimed at true transoceanic capability, delivering about 6,600 nautical miles of range and commonly carrying 10–14 passengers depending on layout. At the top of this set, the Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range flagship with the largest cabin and highest mission flexibility, providing roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range and typical configurations for about 12–16 passengers, with high‑density options higher. In practical terms, the progression from G280 to G700 mainly tracks bigger cabins, longer legs, and more passengers carried comfortably at distance.
