Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800
The Gulfstream G500 is the smaller, “large-cabin” option of the three, positioned for intercontinental missions without being at the very top of Gulfstream’s lineup. It typically offers seating for roughly 12 to 16 passengers and a published range around 5,300 nautical miles, making it well suited to many transoceanic city pairs while keeping overall aircraft size and operating footprint comparatively modest. The Gulfstream G700 moves into the ultra-long-range, flagship-class category with a larger cabin and higher maximum passenger capacity. It is commonly configured for about 12 to 19 passengers and is advertised at roughly 7,750 nautical miles of range, prioritizing maximum cabin volume and comfort on very long sectors. The Gulfstream G800 is also an ultra-long-range aircraft, but it emphasizes maximum reach over cabin size. It typically seats about 12 to 19 passengers and carries a published range of about 8,000 nautical miles, making it the longest-legged of the three while retaining a similar high-end mission profile to the G700.
