Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G800 1

All five are ultra-long-range business jets, but they split into two practical groups: large-cabin long-range and true intercontinental flagships. The Bombardier Global 6500 sits in the large-cabin long-range category, typically offering around 6,600 nautical miles of range and accommodating roughly 13–17 passengers depending on layout. Dassault’s Falcon 6X is a new-generation large-cabin long-range jet with about 5,500 nautical miles of range and similar typical seating, often around 12–16. The Falcon 8X steps up into the ultra-long-range bracket at roughly 6,450 nautical miles and generally carries about 12–16. Gulfstream’s G650ER is a benchmark intercontinental ultra-long-range jet at about 7,500 nautical miles, commonly configured for around 14–19 passengers. The newest Gulfstream G800 is positioned as the current top-end intercontinental offering, with advertised range around 8,000 nautical miles and a typical capacity in the same broad band, roughly 14–19 passengers, with final numbers driven by cabin configuration.
