For two decades, Gulfstream and Bombardier have competed for the same client: the principal who travels globally, non-stop, with no interest in compromise. In 2022, both manufacturers delivered their definitive answer simultaneously — the Gulfstream G700 and the Bombardier Global 7500. Both aircraft set records. Both are in service. Both are available through FFGR Jets. This is the direct comparison that charter clients ask for most often.
Range and Speed: Numbers That Matter at Hour Twelve
The G700 has a published range of 14,816 km — enough for Singapore to London non-stop with NBAA IFR reserves. The Global 7500 is rated at 14,260 km. In practice, both aircraft cover every commercially meaningful city pair non-stop. The G700's advantage is altitude: it operates at up to 54,000 ft, above most weather systems, with a cruising speed of up to Mach 0.925.
For clients who charter regularly between Europe and Asia or across the Pacific, the range difference is minimal — both aircraft will complete the routing without difficulty. At sustained Mach 0.90, the G700 saves approximately 25–30 minutes on a 14-hour sector. That is the kind of margin that matters if you have a meeting at arrival.
The Cabin: Windows vs. Zones
Gulfstream's signature on the G700 is its 20 panoramic oval windows — each 50% larger than those on the G650. The cabin is 17.07 m long, 2.49 m wide and 1.91 m tall. Five living areas can be configured in multiple layouts; the full-spectrum LED lighting system synchronises with destination time zones to reduce jet lag on long hauls.
The Global 7500 counters with four true living zones separated by actual partitions rather than furniture groupings, creating genuine privacy between sections. The Soleil lounge forward, a dedicated dining room, the stateroom, and the private rear suite are each functionally and acoustically distinct. The stateroom includes a Nuage seat and the permanent master suite includes a stand-up shower — a feature the G700 does not offer in most configurations.
Charter Pricing: What You Actually Pay
G700 charter rates start at approximately EUR 18,500/h, with a transatlantic crossing (Paris–New York) typically in the EUR 125,000–145,000 range. The Global 7500 is priced slightly lower at approximately EUR 16,500/h — Paris–New York typically EUR 108,000–128,000.
For clients whose primary metric is cabin experience rather than speed, the Global 7500 delivers the master suite with shower at a slightly lower price point. For clients who want the widest cabin, the most windows and the highest altitude cruise, the G700 is the choice. FFGR recommends both to different clients depending on mission profile.
The FFGR Recommendation: When to Choose Each
Choose the Global 7500 when: the mission is 14+ hours; you require a separate master suite with genuine acoustic isolation; a stand-up shower is a functional requirement; or when you are travelling with a partner and want two genuinely private sleeping areas.
Choose the G700 when: you travel with a larger group (up to 19 passengers) and want five distinct social areas; the panoramic window experience is a priority; you are flying a routing where the highest available altitude matters; or when you want the most current Gulfstream avionics suite. Both aircraft are extraordinary — the right choice maps onto your specific mission.
