EXPERT VERDICT

The G800 is the stronger all-rounder, but the G650ER still wins where it counts for the right mission.

The G650ER pulls ahead on cabin comfort; the G800 answers with range / non-stop reach, group capacity and airport access. Both sit in the ultra long range class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.

G800

8,000 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.

Cabin comfort

Group capacity

G800

Seats up to 19 — the right pick when the manifest grows.

Airport access

G800

Shorter 6,000 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.
