Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er

The Gulfstream G280 is the smallest of the three, positioned as a super-midsize business jet. It’s built for efficient regional and transcontinental missions, with a typical advertised range around 3,600 nautical miles and a usual passenger load in the high single digits to about ten, depending on layout. The Gulfstream G600 steps up into the large-cabin category, offering more space, higher cruise capability, and a longer reach—about 6,600 nautical miles—while commonly seating roughly 12 to 16 passengers in typical executive configurations. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin flagship, designed for the longest nonstop city pairs; its range is about 7,500 nautical miles and it generally carries a similar or slightly higher typical executive load (often around 12 to 18), with ample room for multiple living zones. In short, the G280 prioritizes efficiency in a smaller footprint, the G600 balances large-cabin comfort with long range, and the G650ER maximizes global nonstop capability.
