Comparison of Long-Range Private Jets: Bombardier Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650

JetVina is a leading provider of private jet charter services in Vietnam and the region. For intercontinental journeys, the Bombardier Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650 stand among our top ultra-long-range aircraft choices, both representing the pinnacle of luxury, performance, and advanced technology.

To assist clients in selecting the aircraft that best suits their individual needs, this article offers an objective comparison of the performance, comfort, and technical features of these two exceptional jets.

 

Performance and Range

This is the most crucial factor in the long-range jet category.

Gulfstream G650:

• Maximum range: 13,205 km

• Speed: Typical cruising speed of 904 km/h (Mach 0.85), with a maximum speed of Mach 0.925

• Engines: Two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines

With its exceptional range, the G650 can operate non-stop flights between distant city pairs such as New York and Tokyo. Its high speed is also an advantage, significantly reducing travel time on long-haul routes.

 

Bombardier Global 6000

• Maximum range: 11,390 km

• Speed: Cruising speed comparable to the G650 at 904 km/h (Mach 0.85), with a maximum speed of Mach 0.89

• Engines: Two Rolls-Royce BR710 engines

Although its range is slightly shorter than that of the G650, the Global 6000 is fully capable of performing popular intercontinental routes such as London to Los Angeles. This aircraft is highly regarded for its flight stability and excellent takeoff and landing performance, allowing it to access airports with more demanding runway conditions.

 

 

Cabin Comfort and Interior Design

Space and in-flight experience are key factors determining comfort on long-haul journeys.

Gulfstream G650:

• Dimensions (Height x Width): 1.96 m x 2.59 m

• Features: The G650’s cabin stands out for its superior width and height, creating a spacious and airy atmosphere. A signature element of Gulfstream design is the large oval windows that flood the cabin with natural light. Another noteworthy feature is the low cabin pressure—equivalent to an altitude of 1,250 meters when cruising at 12,500 meters—which helps reduce passenger fatigue.

Bombardier Global 6000:

• Dimensions (Height x Width): 1.88 m x 2.41 m

• Features: The Global 6000 offers a slightly longer cabin and emphasizes tranquility and comfort. It features advanced sound insulation and Bombardier’s signature Nuage seats. The cabin layout is highly flexible, often configured with distinct zones, including a dedicated crew rest area—ideal for long flights that require both workspace and relaxation.

Both jets offer comparable passenger capacity (13–17 passengers depending on configuration) and generous baggage space.

Avionics and Flight Technology

Both aircraft are equipped with some of the most advanced flight deck systems in the industry.

• Gulfstream G650: Features the PlaneView II cockpit with integrated fly-by-wire control and Enhanced Vision System (EVS), providing pilots with superior situational awareness even in poor weather conditions.

• Bombardier Global 6000: Equipped with the Vision Flight Deck, based on the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion platform, incorporating a Synthetic Vision System (SVS) for enhanced precision and operational safety.

 

 

Technical Specifications Comparison

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing

The decision between the Global 6000 and the Gulfstream G650 depends on your priorities and specific travel requirements.

Choose the Gulfstream G650 if:

• Range is your top priority: You need to perform the longest non-stop flights without technical stops.

• Time matters: The higher maximum speed reduces overall flight duration on transoceanic routes.

• You value spaciousness: The wider and taller cabin enhances in-flight comfort and openness.

Choose the Bombardier Global 6000 if:

• Comfort and quietness are key: The cabin is optimized for low noise and enhanced relaxation.

• You fly to specific destinations: Better runway performance allows access to airports with stricter conditions.

• You seek cost efficiency: For long-haul missions that don’t require the full range of the G650, the Global 6000 can offer a more economical operating profile.

Both aircraft represent the pinnacle of private aviation excellence.
