Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G600

All three are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they sit in slightly different niches. The Bombardier Global 6500 is a long-range large-cabin jet optimized for comfort and cabin volume, with a typical range of about 6,600 nautical miles and seating commonly arranged for around 13–17 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible). The Dassault Falcon 7X is also a large-cabin long-range jet, notable for its tri-jet design and operational flexibility, offering roughly 5,950 nautical miles of range and typically accommodating about 12–16 passengers depending on configuration. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin, long-range jet positioned between Gulfstream’s super-long-range models and its smaller large-cabin offerings, with an advertised range around 6,600 nautical miles and a typical seating capacity of about 13–17 passengers. In practical terms, the Global 6500 and G600 are closer on range, while the Falcon 7X is slightly shorter-legged but remains firmly in the long-range category.
