Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700

The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize jet, best suited to shorter intercontinental missions, with a typical range around 3,600 nautical miles and a practical passenger load commonly in the 8–10 range (with higher-density configurations possible). The Gulfstream G600 steps up into the large-cabin category, offering notably more cabin volume and comfort, with range roughly 6,500 nautical miles and typical seating around 12–14. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range large-cabin aircraft optimized for maximum reach, extending range to about 7,500 nautical miles and commonly carrying about 12–16 passengers in executive layouts. The Gulfstream G700 is Gulfstream’s newest flagship in the same ultra-long-range tier, pairing a larger, more flexible cabin than the G650ER with a range around 7,500 nautical miles; typical configurations often seat roughly 13–19 passengers, emphasizing spacious zones and high-end amenities. Overall, the progression moves from super-midsize efficiency (G280) to large-cabin reach (G600) to true global capability (G650ER and G700), with the G700 prioritizing cabin size and layout versatility.
