Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24
In category, the Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jets aimed at intercontinental missions, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a “super versatile” light jet designed for shorter trips, smaller airports, and more utility-focused operations. On range, the Global 7500 and G700 sit at the top of this group, each capable of true ultra-long-haul nonstop routes that can link major city pairs across oceans. The Falcon 8X is also firmly in the ultra-long-range class, but typically a step behind the very longest legs achievable by the Global 7500 and G700. The PC-24 has a markedly shorter range by comparison, better suited to regional and transcontinental missions rather than the longest intercontinental sectors. For passenger capacity, the Global 7500 and G700 generally carry the most in typical configurations, supporting higher-density layouts as well as very spacious premium cabin arrangements. The Falcon 8X usually seats slightly fewer but remains a large-cabin jet comfortable for sizable groups. The PC-24 carries fewer passengers overall, reflecting its smaller cabin and light-jet mission profile.
