Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Lineage 1000e vs Gulfstream G650er
In category, the Bombardier Global 5500 and Dassault Falcon 7X/8X sit in the large-cabin, long-range class, while the Embraer Lineage 1000E is an ultra-large cabin/VIP airliner-style platform optimized for space over outright range, and the Gulfstream G650ER is a flagship ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet. On range, the G650ER leads at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, followed by the Falcon 8X at about 6,450 nm, the Global 5500 around 5,900 nm, and the Falcon 7X near 5,950 nm; the Lineage 1000E is typically around 4,600 nm depending on configuration. On passenger capacity, these aircraft generally seat about 12–16 passengers in typical executive layouts for the Global 5500, Falcon 7X, Falcon 8X, and G650ER (often certified higher), whereas the Lineage 1000E commonly carries more—often 16–19 in VIP comfort with the ability to accommodate higher counts due to its wider, airliner-derived cabin.
