Challenger 650
A long-range heavy jet that refined a proven airframe with smarter avionics, a quieter ride, and cabin comfort made for overnight crossings.
Challenger 650
Challenger 650
Canadair laid the foundation in 1980. What the Challenger 650 represents is what happens when an airframe survives long enough to absorb four decades of real-world feedback: from pilots, operators, and passengers who logged thousands of hours in its predecessors and knew exactly what needed fixing. It keeps everything that made the original line compelling: the wide oval fuselage, the stand-up cabin, the high-bypass engines that made the 600 series a favorite among operators flying out of noise-sensitive airports like Boston and Seattle. What it adds is a generation’s worth of avionics, a redesigned interior, and a range that exceeds 4,000 nautical miles, enough to connect the East Coast to Western Europe without a refueling stop.
Compared to newer heavy jets like the Gulfstream or Global 6000, it’s often chosen for transatlantic flights where reliability, cabin space, and predictable performance matter more than newer branding. Up to 12 passengers can settle in comfortably. On overnight flights, seats convert into lie-flat beds so you can arrive rested. It also frequently turns up as an empty-leg opportunity, one of the more sought-after in the category. This aircraft doesn’t chase trends. It just keeps raising the bar its grandfather set.

Heavy Jets
Challenger 600
Meet the jet that changed business aviation forever with a wide-body cabin, remarkable range, and the refined comfort of our Challenger 600.
Challenger 604
Built by Bombardier, the Challenger 604 remains a popular choice for private charter thanks to its spacious cabin, dependable performance, and ability to handle longer routes with ease.
Challenger 650
From overnight crossings to coast-to-coast flights, the Challenger 650 gives passengers the space, range, and quiet comfort to settle in and enjoy the distance.
Challenger 800 / 850
The Challenger 800 and 850 bring a rare origin to private aviation, evolving from regional airliners into spacious business jets built for larger groups.
Falcon 6X
Built by Dassault Aviation, the Falcon 6X offers one of the tallest and widest cabins in business aviation, giving passengers more room to work, relax, and travel comfortably on long-range flights.
Falcon 7X
With our Falcon, passengers get nearly 6,000 nautical miles of range, a smooth and highly responsive flight profile, and a cabin environment built to make long-haul trips feel calmer and more comfortable.
Falcon 8X
When timing matters as much as destination, our Falcon 8X gives travelers a way to preserve the shape of the trip with nonstop capability and a cabin that supports work, rest, and uninterrupted time in the air.
Falcon 10X
Built as a clean-sheet aircraft, the Falcon 10X offers one of the largest cabins in business aviation, with the range and speed needed for demanding international travel.
Falcon 900LX
Our Falcon 900 LX offers a uniquely quiet, wide-body cabin for up to 12 passengers with three tail-mounted engines that open remote, high-altitude, and island destinations most jets can’t legally reach.
Falcon 2000
With its spacious cabin, balanced range, and efficient design, our Falcon 2000 gives private flyers a more refined way to cross serious distances.
Global 5500 / 6500
Our Global 5500 and Global 6500 are ideal for travelers who care as much about cabin space as they do about range, especially on overnight flights where room to sleep, move, and settle in makes a noticeable difference by arrival.
Global 7000 / 7500
What sets our Global 7500 apart is the way the cabin is arranged. Instead of asking every activity to happen in the same shared environment, it creates dedicated spaces for conversation, meals, rest, and sleep across a layout that feels more structured over longer flights.
Global 8000
For trips where the route itself narrows the field, our Global 8000 stands at the top of the market with the range to complete nonstop flights that many other ultra-long-range jets cannot match without compromise.
Global Express 5000
The Global Express 5000 is a strong fit for travelers who want a wider cabin, substantial baggage capacity, and the steady ride quality that often comes with a heavier long-range aircraft.
Global Express 6000 / XRS
On the Global Express 6000 and XRS, the real advantage shows up over time, with a cabin built to support sleep, movement, and comfort in ways that become much more noticeable on long-haul routes
Gulfstream II
The Gulfstream II seats up to 12 in a stand-up cabin with large windows, a clear aisle, and a noise profile that decades of operator refinement have brought down to a genuinely comfortable level.
Gulfstream III
Most heavy jets are built for ten passengers at most. The Gulfstream III seats twelve, which means the whole team travels together, the galley keeps up, and nobody gets left behind on a smaller aircraft.
Gulfstream G350
Passengers on the Gulfstream G350 get a long-range cabin experience that feels more refined than bulky, with seating for up to 14, generous natural light, and the kind of ride quality that stands out over several hours in the air.
Gulfstream G550
Built by Gulfstream Aerospace, the G550 remains a highly respected long-range business jet, offering the range, comfort, and reliability needed for demanding international travel.
Gulfstream G400 / G400SP / G450
What sets these planes apart is not only their range but also the sense of refinement that comes from a platform Gulfstream has kept improving rather than replacing too quickly.
Gulfstream G500 / G600
Charter the Gulfstream G500 or G600 for long-range private flights from Miami, Seattle, and beyond with clean-sheet cabin architecture, a two-minute air cycle, and active-control sidesticks.
Gulfstream G650 / G650ER
The Gulfstream G650 offers three independently configurable cabin zones, fully flat beds, and cruise speeds that outpace virtually every competing platform.
Gulfstream G700
56 feet of cabin across multiple zones, 100% fresh outside air, and intercontinental range from Teterboro or Los Angeles define the Gulfstream G700. Ideal for travelers whose schedules don’t include a recovery day.
Gulfstream G800
The Gulfstream G800 is an ultra-long-range heavy jet offering up to 8,200 nm of range, seating for up to 19 passengers, and a spacious Gulfstream cabin built for nonstop global travel.
Hawker 1000
The Hawker 1000 never quite fit the category it was supposed to occupy: too capable for midsize, too understated for heavy, and for passengers who fly past five hours regularly, that’s exactly the point.
Legacy 600 / 650
The Legacy 650 is a longer-range version of the Legacy 600. On February 3, 2012, Embraer delivered a Legacy 650 to world-renowned celebrity Jackie Chan in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brasil, with his iconic dragon logo.
