Airbus Acj320 Neo vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Gulfstream G500

The Airbus ACJ320neo sits in the VIP airliner category, offering intercontinental range (roughly 6,000+ nm depending on configuration) and by far the largest cabin; it can be arranged for a few dozen VIP travelers and, in high‑density layouts, many more, making it ideal when space and onboard “real estate” matter most. The Bombardier Challenger 650 is a large-cabin business jet with transcontinental-to-near-intercontinental range (about 4,000 nm) and typically carries 8–12 passengers in executive comfort, trading ultimate range and cabin volume for lower operating complexity versus ultra-longs. The Bombardier Global 5500 is an ultra-long-range jet (around 5,900 nm) generally set up for 10–16 passengers, combining long legs with a taller, more segmented cabin than the Challenger. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a new-generation large/ultra-long-range jet (about 5,500+ nm) for roughly 10–16 passengers, emphasizing a wide, comfortable cabin and strong runway performance. The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a long-range large-cabin tri-jet (about 4,700–4,800 nm) typically for 8–14 passengers. The Gulfstream G500 is a large-cabin long-range jet (about 5,200–5,300 nm) usually configured for 10–15 passengers.
