Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx

The Bombardier Global 6500 is a large-cabin, long-range business jet, offering roughly 6,600 nautical miles of range and typically accommodating about 12 to 16 passengers depending on layout. It is positioned for intercontinental missions with a notably spacious cabin and strong range for nonstop city pairs. The Dassault Falcon 6X is a new-generation large-cabin, long-range jet with an advertised range of about 5,500 nautical miles and a typical passenger count around 12 to 16. Its emphasis is on a very wide, tall cabin for the class, combined with efficient long-range performance. The Dassault Falcon 900LX sits in the large-cabin segment but is generally considered a step below the newest ultra-long-range offerings, with a range around 4,750 nautical miles and typical seating in the 12 to 14 passenger range. It is often chosen for its proven tri-jet design, flexibility, and strong runway performance, while offering less range than the Global 6500 and 6X.
