Range determines where you can fly nonstop. Ultra-long-range jets connect any two cities on earth — New York to Singapore, Los Angeles to Dubai — without fuel stops.

What Range You Actually Need
Most US domestic flights are under 2,500nm. Transatlantic: 3,000–3,500nm. Transpacific: 5,000–6,500nm. Only missions to Asia, Oceania, or Africa from the US truly require ultra-long-range capability.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 share the lead at approximately 8,000nm.
Yes. The G800 and Global 8000 can fly Los Angeles to Tokyo or Sydney nonstop.
Only for nonstop transoceanic or intercontinental flights. Most domestic and transatlantic missions are within super-midsize range.
Full passenger and luggage loads reduce range by 5–15% versus published maximums.
Fuel stops add 45–90 minutes. Common stops: Newfoundland, Iceland, Shannon (Ireland) for transatlantic. Anchorage or Hawaii for transpacific.
Both are exceptional. The G700 has a wider cabin. The Global 7500 has a marginally longer range. Mission-specific analysis determines the better fit.
Most midsize jets lack transatlantic nonstop range. The Praetor 600 (3,900nm) and Challenger 3500 (3,400nm) can reach parts of Europe nonstop from the US East Coast.
$45–$75 million new. Pre-owned: $20–$55 million depending on age and condition.
