Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 900lx

In category terms, the Bombardier Global 6500 and Global 7500 are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets, with the 7500 positioned as the larger, higher-end flagship. The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a long-range large-cabin trijet, generally a step below the Globals in sheer cabin volume and headline range, but valued for its three‑engine configuration and strong short/secondary-airport performance. For range, the Global 7500 leads at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs at high-speed cruise. The Global 6500 follows at about 6,600 nautical miles, still covering most intercontinental missions but with fewer extreme long-haul nonstop options. The Falcon 900LX is typically around 4,750 nautical miles, well suited to transoceanic and many intercontinental flights, though it will more often require a fuel stop on the longest routes the Globals can do nonstop. Passenger capacity is broadly similar at the high end, but the Globals typically carry more comfortably. The Global 6500 is commonly configured for about 13–17 passengers, the Global 7500 about 14–19, and the Falcon 900LX about 12–14 in typical layouts.
