Boeing Bbj Max 8 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er

By category, the Boeing BBJ 737 MAX is a VIP airliner (large-cabin, airline-derived) offering far more interior volume than the purpose-built business jets. The Dassault Falcon 6X and Falcon 8X are large-cabin long-range business jets, while the Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range flagship business jet. On range, the G650ER leads at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, enabling the longest nonstop city pairs. The Falcon 8X is close behind at about 6,450 nautical miles. The BBJ 737 MAX typically sits in the broad 6,000+ nautical mile class depending on variant, payload, and cabin configuration, while the Falcon 6X is slightly shorter at around 5,500 nautical miles. On passenger capacity, the BBJ 737 MAX can be configured for dozens of passengers in VIP layouts and substantially more than any of the others if desired. The Falcon 6X and 8X are commonly arranged for about 12–16 passengers, and the G650ER is typically configured in a similar 12–18 passenger range, prioritizing long-range comfort over high-density seating.
