Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280

All four are super‑midsize business jets aimed at similar missions, but they cluster into two range tiers. The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Gulfstream G280 are super‑midsize; the Challenger 3500 is typically quoted around 3,400 nm range and commonly seats about 8–10 passengers in executive layouts, while the G280 is usually cited around 3,600 nm and is often configured for roughly 8–10. The Embraer Praetor 600 is also super‑midsize and generally advertised around 4,000 nm, giving it the longest legs in this group, with typical seating around 8–12 depending on layout. The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is a larger “large‑cabin” jet; it usually offers about 4,000 nm range as well, but with a bigger cabin that can accommodate more—often around 8–10 in a spacious executive configuration, with higher maximum seating possible compared with the super‑midsize models.
