Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er

All five are large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they span two rough classes: “large/long-range” and “ultra-long-range.” The Bombardier Global 6500 sits in the large/long-range category with an advertised range of about 6,600 nautical miles and typically carries around 13–17 passengers depending on configuration. Dassault’s Falcon 8X is a trijet in the ultra-long-range class, offering roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range and commonly seating about 12–16. The Falcon 900LX is also a trijet but a step shorter in reach, generally considered long-range rather than ultra-long-range, with about 4,750 nautical miles and typical seating around 12–14. Gulfstream’s G600 is a large/long-range jet with about 6,600 nautical miles of range and usually accommodates around 13–17. The Gulfstream G650ER is the benchmark ultra-long-range option in this group, with an advertised range near 7,500 nautical miles and typical seating around 14–19. Actual passenger counts and range vary with cabin layout, payload, and conditions.
