Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1
All of these are ultra-long-range business jets, but they split into two size bands. The Bombardier Global 6500, Dassault Falcon 7X/8X, and Gulfstream G650ER are large-cabin, long-range aircraft typically seating about 12–16 passengers (with higher maximum configurations), while the Bombardier Global 7500/8000 and Gulfstream G700/G800 are the larger “flagship” ultra-long-range models, often arranged for roughly 14–19 passengers. By range, the Global 6500 sits around 6,600 nautical miles. Dassault’s Falcon 7X is about 5,950 nm and the Falcon 8X about 6,450 nm, generally trading slightly lower range for efficient three‑engine performance and short-field flexibility. The Gulfstream G650ER is about 7,500 nm. In the flagship tier, the Global 7500 is about 7,700 nm, the Global 8000 about 8,000 nm, the Gulfstream G700 about 7,750 nm, and the Gulfstream G800 about 8,000 nm, making the Global 8000 and G800 the longest-range options in this set.
