Bombardier Global 5500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x

Bombardier’s Global 5500 and Global 6500 are ultra-long-range business jets, while the Dassault Falcon 7X is also in the long-range/ultra-long-range large-cabin category but is notable for its trijet design. In range, the Global 5500 typically offers about 5,900 nautical miles, the Falcon 7X about 5,950 nautical miles, and the Global 6500 the longest of the three at roughly 6,600 nautical miles, making it the strongest choice for longer nonstop city pairs. For passenger capacity, all three are commonly configured for around 12 to 16 passengers, with high-density layouts possible up to roughly 17–19 depending on operator choices. In practical terms, the Global 5500 and Falcon 7X are closely matched on range and typical occupancy, with the Falcon often valued for operational flexibility from Dassault’s handling and trijet performance, while the Global 6500 sits a step up in mission capability thanks to its longer range and very spacious long-cabin experience.
