Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Bombardier Challenger 650 and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the super‑midsize category, while the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is typically classed as a large‑cabin jet, and the Bombardier Global 5500 and Dassault Falcon 6X are ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin aircraft. In range terms, the Challenger 650 is suited to transcontinental missions at roughly 4,000 nm, and the Praetor 600 stretches that capability to about 4,000+ nm with strong long‑leg efficiency. The Falcon 2000LXS is a large‑cabin step up in space with a shorter long‑range profile, around the 4,000 nm class depending on conditions. For intercontinental flying, the Global 5500 and Falcon 6X lead the group, both around the 5,500 nm class, enabling many North Atlantic and deeper long‑haul city pairs. Typical passenger counts are about 8–12 for Challenger 650 and Praetor 600, about 8–10 (often up to 12) for Falcon 2000LXS, and roughly 12–16 for Global 5500 and Falcon 6X depending on layout.
