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

All six are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they split into two capability tiers. In the “long-range” category, the Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500 and the Gulfstream G500 typically serve missions around 5,200–6,600 nautical miles, with passenger capacity commonly configured for about 13–16. The Dassault Falcon 6X sits in the same broad class, offering roughly 5,500 nautical miles of range and usually seating about 12–16, emphasizing a very wide cabin rather than maximum distance. In the “ultra-long-range” category, the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650ER are designed for the longest nonstop city pairs, with published ranges around 7,500 and 7,500+ nautical miles respectively, and typical passenger loads around 14–19 depending on layout. Overall, the 5500/6X/G500 are strong transcontinental-plus jets, the 6500 pushes deeper into intercontinental range, and the 7500 and G650ER are the top choices when maximum nonstop reach is the priority.
