Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G600

All four are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they separate into two rough tiers. The Bombardier Global 5500 is the “entry” of this group, offering long-range capability for intercontinental missions and typically seating about 8–16 passengers depending on layout. The Bombardier Global 6500 is a step up in the same family, with longer range and generally similar seating flexibility (often 10–17), making it better suited to longer nonstop city pairs and heavier cabin configurations. Dassault’s Falcon 6X is a large-cabin long-range jet focused on a wide, tall cabin; its range is comparable to the upper end of this group and typical seating is roughly 12–16, with strong comfort in higher-density executive layouts. The Gulfstream G600 is also a large-cabin long-range jet, generally matching or exceeding the Global 6500 and competing closely with the Falcon 6X on range; typical seating spans about 10–16. In short, Global 5500 prioritizes value within the segment, while Global 6500, Falcon 6X, and G600 target longer legs with similarly high passenger flexibility.
