Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600

All four are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they sit in slightly different segments. The Bombardier Global 6500 is a long-range large-cabin jet known for strong transcontinental capability, typically offering around 6,600 nautical miles of range and seating commonly configured for about 12 to 15 passengers. The Cessna Citation Longitude is best viewed as a super-midsize/large-cabin crossover with shorter legs than the others, roughly about 3,500 nautical miles, and a typical capacity around 8 to 12 passengers. Dassault’s Falcon 8X is a flagship ultra-long-range tri-jet, optimized for very long missions at about 6,450 nautical miles and usually configured for roughly 12 to 16 passengers. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin, long-range jet positioned between Gulfstream’s super-long-range models, with approximately 6,600 nautical miles of range and typical seating around 12 to 16 passengers. In practice, Longitude suits frequent North America or shorter international routes, while the Global 6500, Falcon 8X, and G600 are better aligned with longer intercontinental missions and larger, more flexible cabin layouts.
