Bombardier Global 5500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G500

The Bombardier Global 5500 and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range category: both typically carry about 8–19 passengers depending on layout, with ranges around 5,200–5,900 nautical miles, making them well suited to intercontinental missions. The Dassault Falcon 7X and Falcon 900LX are also large-cabin, long-range jets; the 7X generally offers slightly more range (about 5,900–5,950 nm) than the 900LX (about 4,750–4,800 nm), with typical seating in the 8–16 range and higher-density layouts reaching roughly 19. The Embraer Praetor 600 and Gulfstream G280 are super-midsize jets: they usually seat about 7–10 (with maximum configurations around 12), and offer strong transcontinental-to-near-long-range capability at roughly 3,600–4,200 nm. In general, choose the Praetor 600 or G280 for efficient long domestic/near-ocean missions, and step up to the 900LX, Global 5500, G500, or 7X when consistent true long-range and larger-cabin comfort matter most.
