Airbus Acj320 Neo vs Airbus Acj350 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G500
The Airbus ACJ320neo and ACJ350 are “bizliners” derived from airliners, emphasizing cabin space and airline-like comfort. The ACJ350 sits at the top of this group with true ultra‑long‑range capability (roughly 10,000+ nm depending on configuration) and typically accommodates larger delegations in VIP layouts, often around 25–50+ passengers. The ACJ320neo is a smaller, still very spacious large‑cabin platform with long range (about 6,000 nm class) and generally similar VIP counts but usually fewer than an ACJ350. The Bombardier Global 5500, Dassault Falcon 6X, and Gulfstream G500 are purpose‑built large‑cabin business jets. The Global 5500 is a long‑range large‑cabin jet (about 5,900 nm) typically carrying 10–16 passengers. The Falcon 6X is a wide‑cabin large‑cabin jet (about 5,500 nm), also commonly 10–16 passengers, optimized for cabin width and comfort. The Gulfstream G500 is a long‑range large‑cabin jet (about 5,200 nm) with typical executive seating around 10–16.
