Private jets have approached the sound barrier for the past decade, flying within 50 knots of reaching supersonic speeds.
While the cruising speeds of private jets in this class already rival or outperform their commercial counterparts, manufacturers have shifted development towards maximizing efficiency, increasing the range in a race to tie the two most distance city-pairs together with the longest non-stop flights.
Long Range Jets are essentially VIP airliners in smaller form factors, covering more than 5,000 nautical miles at speeds between 550-700mph, with luxurious cabins and seating for 12-19 passengers.

Top 10 Longest Range Private Jets in 2022 Available for Charter
Here is a list of the longest range private jets available in 2022, with most available today and some currently in production.
1) Bombardier Global 7500 – 7,700 nmi range
The Global 7500 features an industry-leading 7,700 nautical mile range and a top speed of up to 710 mph. This was the first business jet to perform non-stop flights from New York to Hong Kong and Singapore to San Francisco.
It also completed a coast-to-coast flight from Van Nuys Airport to Teterboro Airport in just 3 hours and 54 minutes to complete, beating the previously held record by sustaining a maximum speed of Mach 0.925 for more than two hours.
Performance is just part of the allure – the Global 7500 offers the biggest interior in its class, with 4 distinct living spaces, dual lavatories, a full-size kitchen, and luxurious appointments throughout its 19 passenger cabin.
2) Gulfstream G700 – 7,500 nmi range
The Gulfstream G700 will hit the market as the most spacious business jet on the market, blending Gulfstream’s proven range, speed and performance with new flight-deck innovations and cutting-edge cabin technologies to offer an unprecedented flight experience.
The G7 delivers an impressive range of 7,500 nautical miles with speeds similar to the Global 7500, however, the cabin on the G700 will be slightly larger than the Global 7500, with up to 5 cabin areas and seating for 19 passengers.
Despite flight deck issues on the Gulfstream G500/G600 in May, deliveries of the much-anticipated G700, which shares similar cockpit features, remain scheduled for 2022 after completing its maiden flight in February.
