Manufacturers publish range under different conditions (passenger numbers, speed and reserves). Compare like for like with each manufacturer before deciding.
Gulfstream G800
The G800 combines the G700's wing and engines with a shorter cabin to reach 8,200 nm at Mach 0.85, the longest range in Gulfstream's range. First deliveries began in 2025.
What to check before buying
Few G800s have changed hands so far. Expect to buy a delivery position or a near-new aircraft, and check warranty transfer and engine programme terms closely.
Bombardier Global 8000
The Global 8000 is Bombardier's flagship, with a top speed of Mach 0.95 and a range of 8,000 nm. It shares the Global 7500's four-zone cabin, and the first aircraft was delivered in December 2025.
What to check before buying
Expect to buy a delivery position or a near-new aircraft. Global 7500 owners can ask Bombardier about upgrading their aircraft to Global 8000 standard.
