Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700
In category terms, all three are large-cabin, long-range business jets, with the Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 typically positioned at the very top end of the “ultra-long-range” segment, while the Dassault Falcon 8X is also ultra-long-range but generally a size class smaller in cabin volume. For range, the Global 7500 leads with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, the G700 follows at about 7,500 nautical miles, and the Falcon 8X is close behind at around 6,450 nautical miles, with real-world performance varying by payload, winds, and routing. Passenger capacity is broadly similar in typical executive layouts, but differs in maximum seating: the Global 7500 commonly carries around 14–19 and can be configured higher, the G700 is often around 13–19 with high-density options up to about 19, and the Falcon 8X typically seats about 12–16, with a maximum near 19 depending on configuration. Overall, Global 7500 and G700 prioritize the longest missions and biggest cabins, while the 8X emphasizes efficiency and flexibility.
