By category, the Boeing BBJ 777-8 is an ultra–long-range VIP airliner (widebody) designed for head-of-state or large-cabin corporate missions. The Dassault Falcon 10X is an ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet. The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS sits in the large-cabin/“super-midsize to large” class with strong short-field capability for its size. The Embraer Praetor 600 is a super-midsize business jet, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet optimized for versatile operations, including rough and short runways. On range, the BBJ 777-8 and Falcon 10X lead the group with intercontinental capability, typically around 11,000 nautical miles class depending on configuration. The Praetor 600 offers long transoceanic legs for its class at roughly 4,000+ nautical miles, the Falcon 2000LXS is similar at about 4,000 nautical miles, and the PC-24 is shorter-range, roughly 2,000 nautical miles. For passenger capacity, the BBJ 777-8 carries the most by far (often dozens, potentially 50+ in VIP layouts). The Falcon 10X typically seats around 10–19, the Falcon 2000LXS about 8–12 (up to ~19), the Praetor 600 about 8–12, and the PC-24 about 6–10.
