Manufacturers publish range under different conditions (passenger numbers, speed and reserves). Compare like for like with each manufacturer before deciding.
Gulfstream G650ER
The G650ER is the extended-range version of Gulfstream's G650, able to fly routes such as Dubai to New York or Hong Kong to London without a fuel stop. It keeps the G650's wide cabin and Rolls-Royce engines, adding fuel capacity for roughly 500 nm more range.
What to check before buying
Check engine programme enrolment and its transferability, the timing of the next major inspection, and whether cabin connectivity has been upgraded.
Bombardier Global 7500
Bombardier's flagship has one of the longest ranges of any purpose-built business jet and the longest cabin in its class, typically arranged as four separate living areas. It connects most of the world's major city pairs non-stop.
What to check before buying
Confirm warranty and engine programme transferability, completed service bulletins, and the cabin layout, which varies widely between aircraft.
