Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x
All five are ultra-long-range business jets, but they span two main families. Bombardier’s Global 7500 and Global 8000 sit at the very top end of the category, emphasizing maximum intercontinental range and large-cabin capability; the Global 8000 is positioned as the longer-range flagship at about 8,000 nautical miles, while the Global 7500 is slightly shorter at about 7,700 nautical miles. Typical passenger loads for both are broadly similar, commonly configured around 10–16, with high-density layouts pushing higher. Dassault’s Falcon 6X is best viewed as a large-cabin, long-range jet rather than a true “longest-range” contender; it offers about 5,500 nautical miles and is typically configured around 8–16 passengers. The Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X are ultra-long-range tri-jets; the 7X is around 5,950 nautical miles, while the 8X extends that to about 6,450 nautical miles. Passenger capacity for the 7X and 8X is commonly around 10–16, with optional higher-density seating depending on layout.
