Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800
All seven are ultra-long-range business jets, but they split into two broad classes: very long range (about 7,000–7,500 nm) and extreme/flagship range (about 7,700–8,000+ nm). Bombardier’s Global 7500 is a flagship-cabin, extreme-range jet at roughly 7,700 nm, typically carrying about 14–19 passengers depending on layout. The Global 8000 pushes slightly farther, around 8,000 nm, with broadly similar capacity and a comparable large-cabin profile. Dassault’s Falcon 7X and 8X are large-cabin tri-jets; the 7X is around 5,950 nm and often configured for about 12–16 passengers, while the 8X stretches range to roughly 6,450 nm with similar seating but generally improved efficiency and cabin options. Gulfstream’s G650ER sits in the extreme-range tier at about 7,500 nm with typical capacity around 14–18. The newer G700 emphasizes a bigger cabin with range around 7,750 nm and similar seating flexibility. The G800 targets maximum range, around 8,000 nm, with a cabin/capacity in the same general 14–19 passenger bracket.
