The class
What a ultra long range jet is for
This class exists to remove the fuel stop from intercontinental flying. Cabin altitude, humidity and noise are engineered around fourteen hour missions, and the seats convert to genuine flat beds.
Across the 5 aircraft we track in this class, published range runs from 5,200 to 7,750 nautical miles and typical seating from 13 to 16. That spread matters. Two aircraft sold as the same class can differ by a thousand miles of range, which is the difference between a nonstop and a fuel stop on a transcontinental leg.
The aircraft in this class are Gulfstream G650ER, Gulfstream G700, Bombardier Global 7500, Bombardier Global 6000 and Bombardier Global 5000.
Charter pricing does not follow the class boundary cleanly either. An older airframe in a larger class sometimes prices below a new one in the class beneath it, and the only way to find out on your date is to make operators bid.

Aircraft
Every ultra long range jet we quote
Gulfstream G650ER
Sixteen panoramic oval windows, a 100 percent fresh air system and a cabin altitude near 4,850 ft at 45,000 ft. Connects most intercontinental city pairs nonstop.
Gulfstream G700
The longest cabin Gulfstream builds, with up to five living areas and an optional dedicated master suite with a shower.
Bombardier Global 7500
Four true living zones plus a crew suite. The only purpose built business jet with a full size kitchen and a separate bedroom as standard architecture.
Bombardier Global 6000
Three zone cabin and a very large charter fleet, which usually makes it the easiest ultra long range aircraft to source at short notice.
Bombardier Global 5000
A shortened Global with the same cabin cross section and better field performance than its longer siblings.
Questions
Ultra Long Range Jets explained
How many passengers fit in a ultra long range jet?
Typical charter seating across the ultra long range jet class runs from 13 to 16 passengers. Maximum certificated seating is often higher, but the practical number is lower once baggage and sector length are accounted for, because seats and fuel compete for the same weight allowance.
How far can a ultra long range jet fly without stopping?
Manufacturer published range across this class runs from about 5,200 to 7,750 nautical miles. Treat those as the ceiling. Real range falls with a full cabin, hot conditions, high elevation departure fields and headwinds, so a book figure of 2,000 nm is a comfortable 1,600 nm mission.
Does a ultra long range jet have a lavatory?
1 of the 5 aircraft we list in this class have a fully enclosed lavatory. The rest use a curtained arrangement. It is worth specifying on the brief, because it is one of the few cabin details that reliably surprises people on the day.
