Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er
In the ultra-long-range business jet category, the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650ER sit at the top tier for outright reach, while the Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G600 are typically positioned a step below in maximum range. The Global 7500 offers around 7,700 nautical miles of range and is often configured for roughly 14–19 passengers, with strong emphasis on cabin volume and multiple living zones. The Gulfstream G650ER provides about 7,500 nautical miles and commonly seats about 11–18, pairing very high cruise performance with a large-cabin layout. The Falcon 8X is a long-range large-cabin trijet with roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range and typical seating around 12–16, valued for operational flexibility and efficient long-haul capability. The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin long-range jet at about 6,600 nautical miles, generally configured for about 13–17 passengers, offering a newer-cabin Gulfstream experience with range sufficient for many intercontinental missions.
