Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Dassault Falcon 6x

The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is best viewed as a large “VIP airliner” category aircraft, offering the longest typical range of this group at roughly 6,300 nautical miles and the highest passenger capability, commonly configured for about 25 to 50 passengers (and potentially more depending on interior and certification). The Bombardier Challenger 3500 is a super-midsize business jet, optimized for efficiency and access, with about 3,400 nautical miles of range and a typical passenger load around 8 to 10 (up to about 10). The Bombardier Challenger 650 sits in the large-cabin category, providing more space and payload than the 3500, with roughly 4,000 nautical miles of range and typically 10 to 12 passengers (up to about 12). The Dassault Falcon 6X is a long-range large-cabin jet, positioned between traditional large-cabin and ultra-long-range offerings, with about 5,500 nautical miles of range and a typical capacity around 12 to 14 passengers (often up to about 16).
