Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Pilatus Pc 24

In category, the Pilatus PC-24 is the outlier as a light jet designed for short-field and semi-prepared runway capability, while the Embraer Praetor 600 and Dassault Falcon 2000S sit in the super-midsize class. The Bombardier Global 5500, Gulfstream G500, and Dassault Falcon 900LX are large-cabin, long-range jets, generally offering more space and higher cruise performance than the super-midsize group. On range, the PC-24 is shortest (roughly 2,000 nm class). The Falcon 2000S is typically around the low-3,000 nm class, while the Praetor 600 is a higher-range super-midsize option (about 4,000 nm class). The G500 and Global 5500 step into true intercontinental capability (about 5,000–5,700 nm class). The Falcon 900LX is the longest-legged here, commonly cited around the mid-4,000s to 4,700+ nm class depending on conditions and payload. For passenger capacity, typical configurations cluster around 6–10 for PC-24 and Praetor 600, about 8–10 for Falcon 2000S, and roughly 10–16 for the large-cabin Global 5500, G500, and Falcon 900LX, with maximum layouts varying by operator.
