Bombardier Global 5500 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x

Bombardier’s Global 5500, Gulfstream’s G500, and Dassault’s Falcon 6X all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they emphasize different strengths. The Global 5500 is a long-range large-cabin jet with an advertised range of about 5,900 nautical miles, typically arranged for roughly 10–13 passengers, and often positioned as a comfort- and cabin-experience-focused step below the ultra-long-range flagships. The Gulfstream G500 is also a large-cabin long-range jet, with an advertised range of about 5,300 nautical miles and typical seating around 10–14 passengers, frequently chosen for its Gulfstream avionics suite and high-speed cruise reputation. The Falcon 6X is a newer large-cabin long-range entrant with an advertised range of about 5,500 nautical miles and typical seating around 12–16 passengers, notable for its very wide and tall cabin cross-section and strong short-field capability relative to its size. All three can be configured for higher-density seating, but typical executive layouts prioritize space over maximum capacity.
