Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x"

The Bombardier Challenger 650 is the “super-midsize” option in this group, best suited to regional and transcontinental missions, with a typical range around 4,000 nautical miles and a usual passenger load of about 8–12 (maximum around 12–13). The Bombardier Global 5500 steps up into the large-cabin, long-range category, offering roughly 5,900 nautical miles of range and typically carrying about 10–16 passengers. The Bombardier Global 6500 is a larger, longer-legged large-cabin jet, around 6,600 nautical miles, and commonly configured for about 12–17 passengers. The Dassault Falcon 7X is also a large-cabin, long-range tri-jet, generally around 5,950–6,000 nautical miles, with typical seating about 10–16 (maximum often cited near 19 depending on layout). In practice, the Challenger 650 prioritizes cost and airport flexibility for shorter long-haul segments, while the Global 5500/6500 and Falcon 7X focus on intercontinental range, bigger cabins, and higher long-haul comfort.
