Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Bombardier Global 6500 and Dassault Falcon 6X sit in the large-cabin, long-range category, while the Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are best viewed as ultra-long-range flagships. In range, the Global 7500 leads at about 7,700 nautical miles, enabling the most nonstop city pairs among these four. The Falcon 8X follows at roughly 6,450 nautical miles. The Global 6500 is close behind at around 6,600 nautical miles, generally edging the 8X on paper, while the Falcon 6X is shortest of the group at about 5,500 nautical miles. For passenger capacity, all can be configured for typical executive loads of roughly 8 to 16 passengers, but maximum-certified seating differs: the Global 6500 is commonly cited up to about 17, the Global 7500 up to about 19, the Falcon 6X up to about 16, and the Falcon 8X up to about 19. In practice, cabin size and layout choices often matter more than the absolute maximum seat count.
