Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280

All four are super‑midsize business jets, but they trade cabin volume, range, and seating differently. The Bombardier Challenger 650 is oriented toward cabin comfort and luggage capacity, typically seating 8–12 passengers, with a range around 4,000 nautical miles. The Dassault Falcon 2000S is a larger “large‑cabin” twin, commonly configured for about 8–10 passengers, with roughly 4,000 nautical miles of range, emphasizing runway performance and a wide cabin feel. The Embraer Praetor 600 sits firmly in the super‑midsize class, usually 8–12 passengers, with about 4,000+ nautical miles of range, often viewed as a range‑efficient choice with modern avionics and connectivity. The Gulfstream G280 is also super‑midsize, typically 8–10 passengers, and is the range leader of this group at roughly 4,200 nautical miles, favoring longer nonstop city pairs while keeping a relatively efficient footprint. In practice, passenger capacity is similar across the set, while the main separation is the Falcon’s larger-cabin category versus the others’ super‑midsize positioning and the G280’s slight edge in range.
