Top private jets: Longest ranges achieved by luxury aircrafts in business aviation

Some of the most popular business jets are among the ultra-long-range business jets in 2024. These aircraft can carry up to 19 passengers across continents for up to 15 hours without needing to refuel.

The Bombardier Global 7500 tops the list with an operational range of 7,700 nautical miles (NM). It is a large business jet designed by Canadian manufacturer Bombardier Aerospace. Since its first flight in November 2016 and subsequent certification in November 2018, over 200 units have been delivered. The aircraft is powered by two General Electric Passport turbofan engines, offering reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency. Bombardier Aerospace states, “Your world is always within reach on our Global 7500 featuring a baseline range of 7,700 NM with an upgrade for flights of up to 8,000 NM and an ultra-high-speed range of 4,200 NM at Mach 0.92.”

Next is the Gulfstream G700 with a range of 7,500 NM. Introduced in October 2019 and approved by the FAA in March 2024, more than fifty G700s have been delivered since then. Powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl engines, it features a spacious cabin that can be customized into five living areas. Gulfstream Aerospace notes that “Life is lived in the moments between the milestones. Maximize every minute with business aviation’s most spacious and flexible interior.”
