Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the super-midsize category. Both typically seat about 8–10 passengers, with the Praetor 600 offering roughly 4,000+ nm range and the Challenger 3500 around the mid‑3,000 nm class, making them strong for transcontinental missions but generally not true long-haul intercontinental flying. The Bombardier Challenger 650 and Dassault Falcon 2000LXS are large-cabin jets. They commonly carry about 10–12 passengers; the Challenger 650 is typically around 4,000 nm range, while the Falcon 2000LXS is similar but often a bit shorter, optimized for airport performance and efficient regional-to-transcontinental missions. The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a long-range, large-cabin trijet, usually configured around 12–14 passengers, with about 4,700–4,800 nm range, enabling many North Atlantic-style routes. The Bombardier Global 7500 is an ultra-long-range, large-cabin flagship, often configured for about 14–19 passengers, with roughly 7,700+ nm range, suited for nonstop intercontinental city pairs.
