Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G500

Bombardier’s Global 5500, Dassault’s Falcon 6X, Embraer’s Praetor 600, and Gulfstream’s G500 all sit in the long-range, large-cabin business jet space, but they cluster into two practical tiers. The Praetor 600 is best viewed as a super-midsize/near large-cabin step-up, offering transatlantic-style capability at shorter true long-haul range, typically around 3,900–4,000 nautical miles, and generally seating about 8–12 passengers. The Global 5500 and G500 are core large-cabin, long-range jets, commonly quoted around 5,200–5,300 nautical miles, with typical seating in the 10–14 passenger range depending on layout. They suit frequent coast-to-coast missions plus many intercontinental pairings. The Falcon 6X is also a large-cabin long-range aircraft, generally published around 5,500 nautical miles, and often configured for roughly 12–16 passengers, emphasizing a very wide, tall cabin and strong short/soft-field flexibility relative to peers. Actual capacity and range vary with configuration, payload, and conditions.
