Which should you charter?
Pick the Global 8000 if you need the extra 2,226 km (1,202 nm) of range, you are a group of 17 to 19, you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 3.9 m longer) and you want the shorter flight time (it cruises 118 km/h faster).
On paper the Gulfstream G650ER does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.
The Gulfstream G650ER is estimated at $15,500/hr against $17,500/hr for the Global 8000, about $2,000 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Global 8000 saves about 7 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Global 8000 can fly Miami (OPF) to Tokyo (HND) nonstop, 11,990 km. The Gulfstream G650ER would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
