Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Bombardier Global 6500 and 7500 and Dassault Falcon 7X and 8X all sit in the long-range, large-cabin business jet category, but they split into two tiers. The Global 6500 is a large-cabin, long-range jet with roughly 6,600 nautical miles of range and typically carries about 12–16 passengers depending on configuration. The Global 7500 moves into the ultra-long-range class, offering about 7,700 nautical miles of range and similar typical capacity around 12–16 passengers, with more flexibility for multiple living zones on longer missions. Dassault’s Falcon 7X is a large-cabin, long-range trijet with about 5,950 nautical miles of range and commonly seats around 12–16 passengers. The Falcon 8X is the extended-range evolution of the 7X, also a large-cabin, long-range trijet, increasing range to roughly 6,450 nautical miles while keeping a similar typical passenger load in the 12–16 range. Overall, the 7500 leads on range, the 6500 and 8X cluster in the mid‑6,000 nm class, and the 7X is slightly shorter-legged.
