Bombardier Global 7500 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Dassault Falcon 6x
The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G650ER sit in the ultra-long-range business jet category, while the Dassault Falcon 6X is typically positioned as a large-cabin, long-range jet just below the top “ultra” tier. For range, the Global 7500 is generally the longest-legged of the three at about 7,700 nautical miles, edging out the G650ER at roughly 7,500 nautical miles; the Falcon 6X offers a shorter but still intercontinental range around 5,500 nautical miles. In passenger capacity, all can be configured for high-density layouts, but typical executive seating differs: the Global 7500 commonly seats about 14–16 in comfort, the G650ER often around 14–16, and the Falcon 6X typically around 12–16. Overall, the Global 7500 emphasizes maximum range and very large usable cabin volume, the G650ER prioritizes speed and established ultra-long-range performance, and the Falcon 6X focuses on a wide, tall cabin with long-range capability at a step lower in range.
