Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700

All five are long-range business jets, but they span two clear size classes. The Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range category. The Global 5500 is generally the longer-legged of the two, with roughly 5,900 nm range versus about 5,300 nm for the G500, and both typically seat around 8–14 passengers depending on layout. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a large-cabin, long-range jet with range around 5,500 nm and a similarly flexible cabin count, commonly 10–14. The Gulfstream G650ER and G700 are ultra-long-range, large/extra-large cabin aircraft. The G650ER is optimized for maximum range at roughly 7,500 nm, usually configured around 11–16 passengers. The G700 pairs ultra-long range (about 7,750 nm) with the largest and most flexible cabin of this group, commonly 12–19 passengers, making it the most capacity- and cabin-space-oriented option while also leading on range.
