The Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500 and the Dassault Falcon 7X and Gulfstream G600 all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they differ in reach and typical cabin loading. The Global 5500 is a large-cabin long-range jet with an advertised range around 5,900 nautical miles and typically carries about 8–16 passengers depending on configuration. The Global 6500 steps up within the same family to the ultra-long-range class, offering roughly 6,600 nautical miles of range and a similar typical capacity of about 8–17 passengers, with more mission flexibility at higher payloads. Dassault’s Falcon 7X is also an ultra-long-range, large-cabin trijet, commonly cited around 5,950 nautical miles of range, and is usually configured for roughly 8–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin long-range jet positioned between Gulfstream’s longer-legged models, with an advertised range around 6,600 nautical miles and typical seating in the 10–16 passenger range. Overall, the Global 6500 and G600 lead on range, while all four offer broadly comparable passenger capacity in real-world corporate layouts.
