Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G700

The Bombardier Global 6500, Dassault Falcon 8X, Gulfstream G600, and Gulfstream G700 all sit in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category, but they separate by mission emphasis. The Global 6500 is a long-range large-cabin jet typically suited to around 12–16 passengers, with a range of roughly 6,600 nautical miles. The Falcon 8X is also a long-range large-cabin aircraft, often configured for about 12–16 passengers, and offers about 6,450 nautical miles of range, with the added appeal of its efficient trijet design and operational flexibility. The Gulfstream G600 is a long-range large-cabin jet usually arranged for about 12–15 passengers, with an approximate 6,600 nautical mile range, positioned as a balance of speed, comfort, and intercontinental reach. The Gulfstream G700 moves into the ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin tier, commonly accommodating about 13–19 passengers, and stretches range to about 7,500 nautical miles, making it the strongest choice in this group for the longest nonstop city pairs and maximum cabin volume.
