Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G600

The Bombardier Global 6500, Dassault Falcon 6X, and Gulfstream G600 all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, aimed at intercontinental missions with stand-up cabins and premium comfort. In range, the Global 6500 is typically positioned as the longest-legged of the three at about 6,600 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs and offering extra margin on longer routes. The Falcon 6X follows closely at roughly 5,500 nautical miles, emphasizing a very wide, tall cabin and strong low-speed handling while still covering most transoceanic missions. The Gulfstream G600 is in a similar band at about 6,600 nautical miles, pairing long range with the brand’s high-speed cruise efficiency and a modern, quiet cabin environment. Passenger capacity is broadly comparable: all are commonly configured for around 12 to 16 passengers in typical executive layouts, with maximum certified seating higher depending on operator choices, though real-world use usually prioritizes lounge, dining, and sleeping arrangements over dense seating.
