Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er

In category, the Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G650ER are typically positioned as ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jets, while the Dassault Falcon 8X is also ultra‑long‑range but is often noted for its trijet design and strong short‑field and airport‑performance flexibility. On range, the Falcon 8X and Global 6500 sit in the ultra‑long‑range tier at roughly 6,400 and 6,600 nautical miles respectively, enabling many intercontinental city pairs. The Gulfstream G650ER generally leads this group on advertised range at about 7,500 nautical miles, giving it the most nonstop flexibility for the longest routes. For passenger capacity, all three can be configured for a wide spread depending on layout. In typical executive configurations, they commonly seat around 12 to 16 passengers. At higher-density certified limits, the Global 6500 is commonly cited up to about 17, the Falcon 8X up to about 19, and the G650ER up to about 19, though real-world comfort-focused layouts usually use fewer seats.
