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

The Boeing BBJ 737 MAX is best described as a VIP airliner: it sits in the large-cabin, airline-derived category, typically offering the most interior volume and the greatest flexibility for layouts (including dedicated bedrooms and meeting areas). It also tends to support the highest passenger counts, commonly in the teens to several dozen depending on configuration, and delivers intercontinental range broadly around the mid‑6,000 nautical mile class depending on variant and fit. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a purpose-built large-cabin business jet optimized for long-range missions with a wide, tall cabin and efficient operating economics. It generally carries about 12–16 passengers in typical executive layouts and offers roughly 5,500–6,000 nautical miles of range, aimed at transatlantic and many long overwater city pairs. The Gulfstream G650ER is an ultra-long-range flagship business jet designed for the longest nonstop missions. In typical layouts it also carries about 12–18 passengers, but it leads this group on range at about 7,500 nautical miles, enabling more true global nonstop pairings than the Falcon 6X.
