Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Bombardier Global 6000 vs Gulfstream G600

Commercial aircraft can be compared broadly by category, typical range, and passenger capacity. Regional aircraft, including turboprops and small regional jets, are designed for shorter routes and higher frequency service; they usually carry about 30 to 90 passengers and commonly operate in the few-hundred to roughly 1,500–2,000 mile range, depending on model and conditions. Narrow-body mainline jets, often used for domestic and shorter international flights, typically seat around 120 to 220 passengers and offer medium range, commonly about 2,000 to 4,000 miles, with some variants optimized for longer transcontinental missions. Wide-body jets serve long-haul international markets; they generally carry about 250 to 400+ passengers and are built for extended range, often around 6,000 to 8,000+ miles, enabling nonstop intercontinental flights. At the high end, very large wide-bodies maximize capacity for dense hub-to-hub routes, sometimes exceeding 450 passengers in typical airline layouts, while maintaining long-haul range comparable to other wide-bodies. Actual range and seating vary with airline configuration, payload, and route conditions.
