Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 10x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er
In category terms, the Bombardier Global 8000, Dassault Falcon 10X, and Gulfstream G650ER are ultra-long-range business jets aimed at intercontinental missions, while the Embraer Praetor 600 sits a tier lower as a super-midsize jet optimized for shorter long-haul trips and more flexible regional operations. On range, the Global 8000 is designed to lead the group at about 8,000 nautical miles, the Falcon 10X follows with a published 7,500 nautical miles, and the G650ER remains a benchmark at roughly 7,500 nautical miles. The Praetor 600 is significantly shorter-legged at about 4,018 nautical miles, typically requiring more stops on true transoceanic city pairs. For passenger capacity, these aircraft overlap depending on configuration, but the large-cabin trio generally carries more people in greater comfort: Global 8000 and G650ER commonly seat around 12–16, and the Falcon 10X is typically in a similar 12–19 range. The Praetor 600 is usually configured for about 8–12 passengers, trading cabin volume for lower operating footprint.
