Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G800 1

All five are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they split into “ultra-long-range” versus “very long-range” categories. The Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 are typically positioned as large-cabin, very long-range aircraft; they commonly cruise with about eight to nineteen passengers depending on configuration, and offer ranges around 5,900 nautical miles for the Global 5500 and about 5,300 nautical miles for the G500. The Dassault Falcon 7X is an ultra-long-range trijet in the same broad cabin class, generally configured for roughly eight to sixteen passengers, with a range around 5,950 nautical miles. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a newer large/ultra-long-range twin with a notably wide cabin; it’s often set up for about ten to sixteen passengers and offers roughly 5,500 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream G800 sits at the top end as an ultra-long-range flagship, typically accommodating about twelve to nineteen passengers and delivering an advertised range of about 8,000 nautical miles, significantly extending nonstop city-pair capability beyond the others.
