Popular Private Jet Aircraft: Gulfstream, Bombardier Global & More
The most requested aircraft in private jet charter—Gulfstream G650ER, Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 8X, and others. Why these jets dominate the market and what to expect when you fly them.
When you charter a private jet, you're often flying on one of a handful of aircraft types that dominate the market. These popular jets are in high demand because they offer the right mix of range, cabin comfort, and reliability. Here’s a look at the aircraft you’re most likely to see on the ramp—and why they’re the go-to choice for operators and passengers alike.
Gulfstream G650 & G650ER
The Gulfstream G650ER is one of the most sought-after ultra-long-range jets in the world. With a range of 7,500 nautical miles, it can fly non-stop from Dubai to Los Angeles or Singapore to San Francisco. The cabin is known for its large windows, low cabin altitude, and high-speed connectivity. The slightly shorter-range G650 (7,000 nm) is equally popular for transatlantic and transpacific missions. Both are a common sight at major FBOs and are often the default choice for executives and celebrities flying long-haul.
Bombardier Global 7500 & Global 6000
Bombardier’s Global family is a staple of long-range private aviation. The Global 7500 leads with 7,700 nm range and a four-zone cabin that feels more like a loft than an aircraft. The Global 6000 (6,000 nm) has been a workhorse for years—comfortable, reliable, and capable of linking virtually any two cities in one leg. Operators love Globals for their dispatch reliability and strong resale value; passengers love them for space and comfort on 10+ hour flights.
Dassault Falcon 8X & 7X
Dassault’s trijets are a distinct choice in the large-cabin segment. The Falcon 8X (6,450 nm) and 7X (5,950 nm) offer three-engine reliability and flexibility for long overwater segments. The cabins are quiet and well-appointed, and the aircraft are known for smooth ride quality and short-field capability. They’re especially popular in Europe and among travelers who value the trijet’s operational flexibility.
Why These Aircraft Dominate
These types are popular because they deliver what charter clients want most: long range without refuelling, a comfortable cabin for work or rest, and proven reliability. When you request a quote, you’ll often be matched with one of these aircraft or a comparable model.
