A Bombardier vs Gulfstream showdown in the ultra long range class. The Bombardier Global 7500 carries 19 passengers with 7,700 nm of range; the Gulfstream G650ER carries 13–16 with 7,500 nm. Cabin dimensions land at 6'2" × 8'0" versus 6'5" × 8'2", and runway numbers read 5,800 ft against 6,299 ft. Both sit in the same pricing class: an estimated €7,100–€9,600 per flight hour.

The Gulfstream G650ER is one of the world's most prestigious ultra-long-range private jets, offering exceptional speed, range and luxury for international charter clients. Ideal for nonstop flights between Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America, the G650 combines cutting-edge aviation technology with an ultra-premium onboard experience. With a top cruise of Mach 0.925 and 7,500 nm range, it is the aircraft of choice for heads of state, Fortune 500 executives and global private clients.
FULL GULFSTREAM G650ER PAGE →Compare the published range of 7,700 nm for the Bombardier Global 7500 with 7,500 nm for the Gulfstream G650ER, but do not treat either as a guaranteed nonstop distance. Request the operator's payload and routing check with your departure airport, passengers and bags. A fuel stop, airport restriction or positioning flight can change which aircraft is the better charter.
Our records list cabin height and width of 6'2" × 8'0" for the Bombardier Global 7500, compared with 6'5" × 8'2" for the Gulfstream G650ER. Published baggage figures are 195 cu ft and 195 cu ft. Ask for photos and the seating plan of the aircraft actually offered: a model's passenger capacity does not confirm your preferred beds, table layout or space for oversized luggage.
Both aircraft use the same pricing-engine class band: €7,100–€9,600 per flight hour, estimated. That is not evidence that both quotes will cost the same. Compare total trip prices including positioning, flight time, handling and any fuel stop, then check what the confirmed offer includes.

FAQ
The Bombardier Global 7500 has a published range of 7,700 nm; the Gulfstream G650ER is rated at 7,500 nm. The longer-range aircraft opens up more non-stop city pairs without a tech stop.
Cruise speeds are Mach 0.925 for the Bombardier Global 7500 and Mach 0.925 for the Gulfstream G650ER. The difference in block time grows with trip length; on a New York → Hong Kong trip it is usually minutes rather than hours.
The Bombardier Global 7500 seats 19; the Gulfstream G650ER seats 13–16. Charter prices below assume a typical executive layout — high-density configurations are available on request.
From our pricing engine's class rates: the Bombardier Global 7500 at an estimated €7,100–€9,600 per flight hour, and the Gulfstream G650ER at an estimated €7,100–€9,600 per flight hour. These are estimates; the confirmed quote within 1–2 hours depends on positioning, season and airport fees.
The Bombardier Global 7500 cabin is 6'2" high and 8'0" wide; the Gulfstream G650ER is 6'5" high and 8'2" wide. Baggage: 195 cu ft vs 195 cu ft.
For trips within the Gulfstream G650ER's published 7,500 nm, either aircraft can fly non-stop and the choice comes down to cabin (6'2" vs 6'5" cabin height), seats (19 vs 13–16) and price. Beyond that, the Bombardier Global 7500 (7,700 nm) flies non-stop where the Gulfstream G650ER may need a fuel stop. Real-world range drops with passengers, bags, winds and winter reserves, so we confirm it per trip.
Both belong to the Ultra Long Range category, but range, payload and runway performance differ. See the route-recommendations table on this page for our specific pick per corridor.
Cabin comfort is the everyday difference passengers feel most. Both the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650ER sit in the Ultra Long Range class, so cabin height, width and layout differ subtly — on flights over 3 hours those details matter more than raw range. Ask us for a side-by-side floorplan.
Both aircraft in this comparison are operated under ARG/US, Wyvern or IS-BAO safety programmes when chartered through Limitless Sky. Safety is driven by operator, crew currency and maintenance regime — not the airframe. We only book operators meeting our verified due-diligence checklist.
The hourly class rate is only one input. Total mission cost includes positioning legs, overnight fees, landing/handling, catering, de-icing and FET where applicable. Our confirmed quote itemises every line so there are no surprises.
