If you’re keyed in to the industry’s buzz and the recently-unveiled Gulfstream G700 (at the annual National Business Aviation Association – NBAA) and its main competitor, the Bombardier Global 7500–the reigning royalty of long range private jets–you may be curious about the differences and similarities between these two luxury business jet standouts. While their names are similar, these two aircraft serve differing travel needs and are battling it out in a class of their own.
Below, we compare and contrast the Gulfstream G700 vs the Bombardier Global 7500. These aircraft, both performance powerhouses, were designed with the needs of the private business traveller in mind and are expertly tailored to the unsurpassed comfort of both business and leisure travel.
Next generation of luxury business jet: The Gulfstream G700
Upon its debut, the Gulfstream G700 will feature the tallest, widest, and longest cabin in the world of luxury business jets, with two feet in cabin length over its nearest competitor: the Global 7500. The ample space will allow passengers to create a variety of configurations with up to five living areas in order to curate the ideal flight experience. All seats can convert into ergonomic beds.
Plus, travelers enjoy the peaceful views from twenty panoramic oval windows–the largest in business aviation–as well as amenities designed with optimal comfort in mind, such as an ultra-low cabin altitude and fresh air. And with innovative circadian lighting that simulates the sunlight patterns of your destination’s time zone, jet lag can be a thing of the past.
With top-of-the-line performance and supreme comfort coming standard, the Gulfstream G700 is an ideal long range private jet for business and pleasure.
Gulfstream G700The Bombardier Global 7500
The Bombardier Global 7500 is one of the top aircraft the luxury business jet industry has ever seen. It’s breaking records as the world’s largest and longest-range business jet, but the buzz around the Bombardier Global 7500 doesn’t end there: with a luxury interior that can be configured with four separate living spaces, it can meet any travel need. The aircraft also features a full-size kitchen and a suite just for the crew.
One of the standouts of Bombardier’s Global 7500 is the wing design, a cutting-edge feat of engineering that provides one of the smoothest rides in private aviation. It also features extra-large windows and Bombardier’s patented Nuage seats, loved for their revolutionary deep recline feature and floating base. In addition, the jet’s circadian rhythm-based Soleil lighting system integrates with the Flight Management System to provide Dynamic Daylight Simulation technology.
The Global 7500 is a luxury business jet designed to function as an extension of your home or office, so no matter where life takes you, getting there is utterly effortless.
