However, I have to wonder \u2013 intercontinental range may be nice, but do owners really need it? And how do they actually use their aircraft? Business jets such as the Gulfstreams, Globals\u00a0and Falcons\u00a0have phenomenal capabilities. Bombardier\u2019s Global 6000 has a 6,000 nm range \u2013 sufficient to fly from Moscow to Los Angeles \u2013 and the forthcoming Global 7000 will take you up to 7,300 nm from New York to Shanghai. Gulfstream\u2019s\u00a0G650ER goes even further at 7,500 nm, while Dassault\u2019s upcoming\u00a0Falcon 8X has enough range to go from Paris to Singapore or Sao Paulo. Don\u2019t get me wrong, this is all just fine if you\u2019re happy to ride in business jet comfort for up to 14 hours. But, perhaps surprisingly, it seems owners of these aircraft aren\u2019t, with most using them for more mundane missions. A sample of around 100 business jets recently offered for sale shows that large cabin jets fly sectors averaging just one hour and 57 minutes \u2013 or around 1,000 nm. This is essentially flying from Washington, DC to Dallas, Texas. Not exactly the long-range missions these jets brag about on the brochures\u2026 Obviously, they do fly long-range missions, and it should be noted that the average for Bombardier Globals is higher \u2013 at around three hours. But there was only one aircraft (a G450) posting an average flight sector of more than five hours, and only two more with more than four hours. So the general evidence appears to be that the range capability of big jets is not fully used. Just in case Why do customers want more"}
