Airbus Acj Twotwenty vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Lineage 1000e vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G800 1
The Airbus ACJ TwoTwenty is best described as a VIP airliner: it sits in the large-cabin/head-of-state category, typically offers the highest passenger capacity of this group (often arranged for roughly 18–50+ depending on layout), and provides long-range capability around 5,600 nautical miles. Bombardier’s Global 7500 and Global 8000 are ultra-long-range business jets; the 7500 is commonly configured for about 8–19 passengers with roughly 7,700 nautical miles of range, while the 8000 is similar in capacity but pushes range to about 8,000 nautical miles. Dassault’s Falcon 900LX is a large-cabin long-range trijet, usually seating about 8–14 (up to around 19), with range around 4,750 nautical miles. The Embraer Lineage 1000E is an ultra-large cabin/VIP airliner conversion with very high capacity (often 16–30+), but shorter range than the top ultra-long-range jets at roughly 4,600 nautical miles. Gulfstream’s G650ER is a flagship ultra-long-range jet, typically 11–18 passengers and about 7,500 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G800 is the newer ultra-long-range entrant, similar capacity, with about 8,000 nautical miles.
