Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1
The Gulfstream G280 is a super‑midsize jet, typically carrying about 8–10 passengers with a range around 3,600 nautical miles. Stepping up, the Gulfstream G500 and G600 are large‑cabin jets, generally accommodating about 10–14 passengers; the G500 offers roughly 5,300 nm of range, while the larger, longer‑legged G600 is about 6,600 nm. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin aircraft, often configured for about 12–16 passengers, with approximately 7,500 nm range. The Gulfstream G700 is a newer, extra‑spacious ultra‑long‑range flagship, commonly set up for about 13–19 passengers, flying about 7,750 nm. The Gulfstream G800 is also ultra‑long‑range but optimized for maximum distance, typically carrying about 12–16 passengers with about 8,000 nm range. In short, capacity and cabin size generally increase from G280 to G700, while the longest reach comes from the G800, with the G650ER and G700 close behind.
