Bombardier Global 6500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G700

All five are long‑range, large‑cabin business jets, but they split into two broad tiers. Bombardier’s Global 6500, Dassault’s Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream’s G600 are “large‑cabin long‑range” aircraft, typically used for transcontinental U.S. missions and many nonstop intercontinental pairings. The Global 6500 is commonly cited around 6,600 nautical miles of range and typically carries about 13–17 passengers depending on layout. The Falcon 8X is similar in role, with roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range and typical seating around 12–16. The G600 is in the same class, generally quoted near 6,600 nautical miles with typical seating around 13–17. Bombardier’s Global 8000 and Gulfstream’s G700 step into the “ultra‑long‑range / flagship” category, optimized for the longest city pairs. The Global 8000 is marketed around 8,000 nautical miles and typically seats about 13–19. The G700 is generally quoted around 7,500 nautical miles with typical seating about 13–19, with higher maximum capacities in dense configurations.
