Boeing Bbj Max 9 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700
The Boeing BBJ MAX 9 is a VIP airliner based on a narrowbody jet, typically positioned as a large-cabin “flying residence/office” option with the greatest interior volume and the highest potential passenger capacity of this group (often configured for a few dozen up to significantly more), and it offers long-range capability generally in the mid‑6,000 nautical mile class depending on configuration. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra‑long‑range purpose-built business jet with a range around 7,700 nautical miles and a typical VIP capacity in the mid‑teens to around 19. The Dassault Falcon 8X is a long‑range large‑cabin business jet known for efficiency and airport flexibility, with about 6,450 nautical miles of range and typical seating around 12–16 (up to about 19). The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range flagship large‑cabin business jet, with range on the order of 7,500 nautical miles and typical seating roughly 13–19 (with higher-density layouts possible).
