A private jet is designed to transport small groups, offering time savings and flexibility compared to commercial flights. These jets allow passengers to skip airport lines, adjust flight schedules, and access smaller airports, reaching destinations not served by commercial airlines.
Several factors influence a jet's range, including wind conditions, temperature, elevation, and weight. Here are the top five private jets known for their long-distance capabilities:
5. Gulfstream G650
The Gulfstream G650 can travel up to 7,000 nautical miles. It accommodates 11 to 18 passengers and reaches a top speed of Mach 0.925. "The G650 was awarded with the 2014 Collier Trophy for its advancements in performance, comfort, and safety." The price of the G650 was $68.5 million in 2023.
4. Bombardier Global 7500
Formerly the Global 7000, this jet has a predicted range of 7,700 nautical miles. It offers a four-zone cabin for relaxation and work. By August 2024, it had set over 50 speed records within a year.
3. Gulfstream G700
With a range of 7,750 nautical miles, the Gulfstream G700 features an extended airframe and advanced cockpit technology. "By 2023, the price had reached $79.9 million."
2. Gulfstream G800
Introduced in October 2021 with an expected range of 8,000 nautical miles, this model shares its wing design with the G700 but is shorter by ten feet.
1. Bombardier Global 8000
Set to enter service in 2025 with an identical cabin length as the Global 7500 but with an extended range of up to 8,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.94 speed.
