Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er

All of these are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they span two practical categories: long-range (roughly 5,000–6,500 nm class) and ultra-long-range (about 7,000+ nm class). Bombardier’s Global 5500 and Gulfstream’s G500 sit in the long-range large-cabin segment, typically carrying about 12–16 passengers, with ranges around the mid‑5,000 nm class. Moving up, the Bombardier Global 6500, Dassault Falcon 7X, and Gulfstream G600 are long-range/near‑ultra offerings, generally accommodating about 12–17 passengers and reaching roughly 6,000–6,600 nm depending on configuration and reserves. In the ultra-long-range tier, the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650ER commonly carry about 14–19 passengers with ranges around 7,500+ nm and 7,400+ nm respectively, aimed at true intercontinental city pairs. Dassault’s newer Falcon 6X targets the long-range end with about 12–16 passengers and roughly 5,500+ nm, while the Falcon 10X is positioned as an ultra-long-range flagship, typically around 12–19 passengers with an advertised range in the 7,500 nm class.
