Over the past few years, private jet manufacturers have continued to innovate with longer-range capabilities, and today they currently offer some of the most impressive long-range aircraft that have ever been on the market. These jets allow passengers to easily fly extensive distances between continents without the need to stop and refuel. At the top of this list sits the Bombardier Global 7500, which offers an impressive range of 7,700 nautical miles.

This impressive range allows the Bombardier Global 7500 to offer passengers the flexibility to fly nonstop between far-flung destinations, such as New York and Hong Kong or Los Angeles and Sydney. This jet currently stands as the longest-range private jet in active service, although its position as the market leader could be set to change in coming years with new market entrants preparing to make their impact on the industry.

American manufacturer Gulfstream, which is a subsidiary of General Dynamics Corporation, offers a range of 7,500 nautical miles on its flagship business jet, the Gulfstream G650ER. According to Aviation Week, this jet is known for its speed (it flies at Mach 0.925) and lavish interior. It has long been a favorite among executive travelers due to its efficiency and comfort when connecting long-haul destinations.
