Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a smaller “super versatile jet” positioned between light and midsize categories with a focus on short-field and unimproved-runway capability. In range terms, the Global 7500 leads with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental missions with fewer stops. The Falcon 8X is close behind at about 6,450 nautical miles, still firmly in the ultra-long-range class and well suited for long transoceanic routes. The PC-24 is notably shorter-legged at around 2,000 nautical miles (varying by load and conditions), typically aimed at regional to medium-length trips rather than global nonstop flying. Passenger capacity follows the same pattern: the Global 7500 generally seats around 14–16 in typical executive layouts (and can be configured higher), the Falcon 8X commonly carries about 12–16, and the PC-24 is usually configured for about 6–10 passengers, with maximum seating often cited around 10–11 depending on interior and operator choices.
