Which Private Jet Has the Longest Range?
Which private jet has the longest range currently has two answers, because two aircraft are tied at the top. This guide ranks the 5 business jets that fly farthest without refuelling, the real nautical mile figures behind each one, and what actually decides how far a private jet can go. It ends with what that range means if you are chartering rather than buying.
The 5 Private Jets With the Longest Range
Range is usually quoted at long-range cruise speed with a standard passenger and baggage load, so the figures below reflect manufacturer-published nautical mile ranges rather than maximum theoretical distance.
1. Bombardier Global 8000: 8,000 Nautical Miles
The Bombardier Global 8000 currently shares the longest-range title in business aviation, with a manufacturer-stated range of 8,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.85 and a maximum speed of Mach 0.94, according to Business Jet Traveler. It received FAA type certification on 19 December 2025, according to FlightGlobal, making it the newest aircraft on this list to enter service. Bombardier markets it as the fastest business jet ever built, not only the longest-ranged.
2. Gulfstream G800: 8,000 Nautical Miles
The Gulfstream G800 matches the Global 8000 on paper, with a class-leading 8,000 nautical mile range at Mach 0.85 and the ability to cover 7,000 nautical miles at the faster Mach 0.90, according to Business Jet Traveler. Its maximum operating speed is Mach 0.925. It entered service in 2024, giving it a longer operational track record than the newly certified Global 8000.
3. Gulfstream G700: 7,750 Nautical Miles
The Gulfstream G700 has a range of 7,750 nautical miles at Mach 0.85, a figure Gulfstream increased by 250 nautical miles over its original estimate during flight testing, Business Jet Traveler reports. Its top speed of Mach 0.935 matches the midsize Cessna Citation X+, making it one of the fastest wide-cabin jets flying as well as one of the longest-ranged.
4. Bombardier Global 7500: 7,700 Nautical Miles
Bombardier advertises a 7,700 nautical mile range for the Global 7500 at Mach 0.85, but the aircraft has demonstrated considerably more in practice. A record-setting flight from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona covered 8,152 nautical miles nonstop, according to Business Jet Traveler. It has been the benchmark aircraft for ultra long range business travel since its 2018 launch, with more flight hours logged than either newer flagship on this list.
5. Gulfstream G650ER: Up to 7,500 Nautical Miles
The Gulfstream G650ER, the long-range variant of the G650, has a maximum range of up to 7,500 nautical miles and a top speed of 516 knots, per GlobalAir's aircraft database. It has been in service since 2014, longer than any other aircraft on this list, and remains one of the most chartered ultra long range jets in Europe simply because of how many are in the active fleet.
One to Watch: the Dassault Falcon 10X
One more aircraft is worth watching, though it does not yet change the ranking above. The Dassault Falcon 10X is designed for a range of 7,500 nautical miles and first flew in June 2026, but Dassault now expects it to enter service no earlier than 2029, according to Aviation A2Z, partly because of stricter certification standards introduced after the Boeing 737 Max accidents. Its designed range would place it in the middle of this list, not at the top, so it is one to note rather than one to plan around for now.
What About Airliner-Based Business Jets?
A handful of aircraft outrank every purpose-built business jet on this list, but they are converted airliners rather than dedicated business jets. The Boeing BBJ 777X, for example, has a range of up to 11,645 nautical miles on the 777-8 model, which Business Jet Traveler describes as greater than any business jet ever built.
These aircraft are custom-converted versions of commercial airliners, seat far fewer passengers than their commercial configuration, and cost several hundred million euros. That places them far outside the aircraft categories most charter clients fly. If ownership rather than charter is genuinely the goal at that level, FastPrivateJet's sales and acquisition team can talk through what that actually involves. For virtually every private charter, the 5 aircraft ranked above cover every realistic non-stop route.
What Actually Determines How Far a Private Jet Can Fly
Manufacturer range figures assume a specific payload, typically 8 passengers plus baggage, flown at long-range cruise speed rather than maximum speed. A heavier passenger and baggage load, a stronger headwind, or a routing that avoids restricted airspace can all reduce the distance an aircraft can fly nonstop on a given day.
This is why demonstrated distances on record flights, like the Global 7500's Singapore to Tucson crossing, tend to be longer than the advertised range. A light fuel load, favourable winds, and a direct routing all help push an aircraft past its published figure under ideal conditions.
Do You Actually Need an Ultra Long Range Jet?
Most charter flights do not need 7,000 or 8,000 nautical miles of range. London to Dubai is around 2,700 nautical miles and London to New York is around 3,000, both well within reach of a super midsize or large jet at a considerably lower hourly rate.
Ultra long range aircraft earn their cost on genuine intercontinental routes with no realistic stop, such as London to Singapore, New York to Dubai, or Los Angeles to Sydney, where a shorter-range aircraft would need to land and refuel partway. If you are chartering rather than buying, FastPrivateJet's private jet charter team can match the right aircraft category to your specific route without you needing to track manufacturer range specs yourself.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Which private jet has the longest range?
The Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 are currently tied for the longest range of any purpose-built business jet, both rated at 8,000 nautical miles. Airliner-based business jets such as the Boeing BBJ 777X fly considerably farther, up to 11,645 nautical miles, but these are converted commercial aircraft rather than dedicated business jets.
How far can the longest range private jet fly without stopping?
At their advertised range, the longest-range business jets can fly around 8,000 nautical miles, roughly 14,800 kilometres, nonstop. In practice, demonstrated flights have gone further: the Bombardier Global 7500 flew 8,152 nautical miles nonstop from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona, under favourable conditions.
What is the fastest private jet with the longest range?
The Bombardier Global 8000 combines the longest advertised range, 8,000 nautical miles, with the highest top speed of any aircraft on this list, Mach 0.94. Bombardier markets it as the fastest business jet ever built.
Do I need an ultra long range jet to charter a private flight?
Only if your route genuinely needs it. Most routes within Europe, or between Europe and the Middle East or the US East Coast, are well within the range of a super midsize or large jet, and ultra long range aircraft are usually only worth the extra cost on genuine nonstop intercontinental routes.
Can a private jet fly nonstop from London to Singapore?
Yes. London to Singapore is roughly 5,900 nautical miles, within range of any of the 5 aircraft on this list, though headwinds and passenger load can affect whether a specific flight needs to plan differently. FastPrivateJet can confirm exact aircraft suitability for a specific route and date.
