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

All four are long-range, large-cabin business jets, but they span two main size classes. The Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range category: both typically carry about 12 to 16 passengers in comfort, with maximum capacities around 19, and offer transcontinental-to-intercontinental reach. The Global 5500 is generally cited around 5,900 nautical miles of range, while the G500 is typically around 5,300 nautical miles. The Dassault Falcon 6X steps up into the ultra-long-range, wide-cabin class. It commonly seats about 12 to 16, with higher maximums depending on layout, and is generally quoted around 5,500 nautical miles of range, emphasizing cabin width and comfort. The Gulfstream G700 is the largest and longest-legged of the group, firmly in the ultra-long-range flagship category. It typically accommodates about 13 to 19 passengers in high-comfort configurations, with maximum layouts approaching the upper teens, and is commonly quoted around 7,500 nautical miles of range, enabling more nonstop city pairs than the others.
