Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600

The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet, positioned as the smallest of the three, with a typical range of about 3,600 nautical miles and a usual passenger load around 8 to 10 in standard layouts (with maximum seating higher depending on configuration). The Gulfstream G500 moves into the large-cabin, long-range category, offering substantially more cabin volume and comfort, a typical range around 5,300 nautical miles, and commonly seats about 10 to 14 passengers. The Gulfstream G600 is also a large-cabin, long-range jet but sits above the G500 in capability, pairing a slightly larger and often more flexible cabin with longer legs; it is typically rated around 6,600 nautical miles of range and generally accommodates about 10 to 16 passengers, depending on the interior. In short, the G280 suits shorter intercontinental missions with fewer passengers, while the G500 and especially the G600 are designed for longer nonstop routes with larger groups and more space.
