Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Dassault Falcon 8x

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are both ultra-long-range business jets, while the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft typically used for regional passenger service, cargo, and special missions. In range, the Global 7500 generally leads the group at about 7,700 nautical miles, enabling nonstop intercontinental city pairs. The Falcon 8X is also ultra-long-range at roughly 6,450 nautical miles, offering similar mission capability but typically with slightly less reach than the Global 7500. The Grand Caravan EX is in a different class, with a much shorter range commonly around 900–1,000 nautical miles depending on load and reserves, optimized for shorter sectors and unimproved or remote airfields. For passenger capacity, the Global 7500 and Falcon 8X usually seat about 8 to 16 passengers in executive layouts, with maximum certified seating higher but uncommon in practice. The Grand Caravan EX typically carries up to 14 passengers in commuter configuration.
