Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G700

The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet, positioned for efficient regional-to-intercontinental missions. It typically carries about 8 to 10 passengers in a comfortable executive layout and offers roughly 3,600 nautical miles of range, making it well suited for routes such as transcontinental U.S. flights and many North Atlantic-capable pairings depending on winds and payload. The Gulfstream G500 moves up into the large-cabin category, with a wider, taller cabin and more space for zones and amenities. It commonly seats around 12 to 16 passengers and provides approximately 5,300 nautical miles of range, enabling longer nonstop city pairs and greater flexibility with reserves. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the top as an ultra-long-range, large-cabin flagship with the most cabin volume and the greatest ability to create multiple living and working areas. Typical seating is about 13 to 19 passengers (with higher-density configurations possible), and range is about 7,500 nautical miles, supporting true intercontinental nonstop missions.
