Bombardier Global 8000 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700

The Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G700 sit in the ultra-long-range large-cabin category, aimed at intercontinental missions with high comfort. The Global 8000 is designed for roughly 8,000 nautical miles of range and typically carries around 13–19 passengers depending on cabin layout. The G700 is similarly a flagship large-cabin jet, with about 7,500 nautical miles of range and a typical capacity in the mid-to-high teens, often up to about 19. The Dassault Falcon 8X is also an ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet, but generally a step below those two in range, offering about 6,450 nautical miles. It is commonly configured for about 12–16 passengers, with flexibility depending on floorplan. The Cessna Citation M2 is in a very different class: a light jet intended for shorter trips and smaller groups. It offers roughly 1,550 nautical miles of range and typically seats 5–7 passengers, prioritizing efficiency and access to smaller airports over long-haul capability.
