Best Private Jets for International Travel: Top Picks from the Stratos Team

Best High Speed and Long Range Combination: Bombardier Global 8000

The Bombardier Global 8000 is a brand-new private jet, moving into service as 2025 comes to a close.

This jet offers both the fastest top speed for a civil aircraft since the Concorde (Mach .950), as Bombardier explains, and an incredibly long maximum range of 8,000 nautical miles (NM). It’s also full of amenities, including four distinct living spaces and a separate rest area for crew members.

Looking for a long-range, high-speed jet right now, before the Global 8000 enters service? The Bombardier Global 7500 is a close second to the 8000, with a maximum range of 7700 NM and a top speed of .925 Mach.

Best for Long Range: Gulfstream G800

The Gulfstream G800 is a new long-range jet for international travel (and shorter trips as well) from the long-established and well-regarded Gulfstream brand.

Gulfstream calls the G800’s maximum range of 8,200 NM the best for any private business jet. Leaving from New York City, the G800 can reach 5 of the 6 inhabited continents, excluding only Australia, without stopping to refuel. That’s an especially valuable asset for travelers who are intent on heading across the globe.

As the G800 is only just entering service as of late 2025, the more widely available Gulfstream G750 is another option to consider in the short term. This jet can carry passengers as far as 7,500 NM, making it easy to reach international destinations in comfort.

A Fast, Long-Range, and Comfortable Alternative: Cessna Citation Longitude

While international trips often cover plenty of distance, there are many cross-border itineraries that don’t need the ultra-long range of the Bombardier and Gulfstream models we’ve mentioned.

The Cessna Citation Longitude is an attractive alternative for this kind of long but not ultra-long international travel. It offers a comfortable and exceptionally spacious cabin along with a maximum range of 3,500 NM and a top speed of Mach 0.840. These three qualities easily put it among the best private jets for international travel.
