Ultra-long-range jet
Ultra-long-range jets are the flagships of the business fleet, able to fly 6,500–8,000 nautical miles non-stop, meaning New York–Tokyo, London–Sydney with a single stop or Dubai–Los Angeles direct: the Gulfstream G650ER, G700 and G800, Bombardier Global 7500 and 8000, and Dassault Falcon 8X and 10X. They combine a large three- or four-zone cabin with a very low cabin altitude, fast Mach 0.85–0.925 cruise and modern Ka-band connectivity. Charter rates are $12,000–$17,000 an hour and availability is thinner than in smaller categories, so they should be booked well ahead. Below about eight hours' flight time they are rarely worth the premium over a large-cabin jet.
