Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1

All five are long-range Gulfstream business jets, but they span distinct size and mission categories. The Gulfstream G280 is a super‑midsize jet aimed at shorter intercontinental missions, with roughly 3,600 nm range and typically seating about 8–10 passengers. The Gulfstream G500 steps up to the large-cabin class, offering about 5,300 nm range and commonly 10–14 passengers. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin flagship with about 7,500 nm range and typical seating around 12–18. The Gulfstream G700 is a newer, larger ultra‑long‑range model emphasizing cabin volume and comfort, with roughly 7,500 nm range and typically 12–19 passengers. The Gulfstream G800 targets maximum range in the current lineup, remaining ultra‑long‑range with about 8,000 nm range and typical seating around 12–19. In short, G280 suits transcontinental and shorter ocean crossings, G500 covers longer intercontinental routes, and the G650ER/G700/G800 address true global missions, with the G800 prioritizing reach and the G700 prioritizing cabin size.
