Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x

In category terms, the Bombardier Global 8000 is an ultra-long-range flagship business jet aimed at the very top end of the intercontinental market. Dassault’s Falcon 6X is a large-cabin, long-range jet positioned slightly below the biggest ultra-long-range offerings, while the Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X are tri‑jet ultra-long-range aircraft, with the 8X being the newer, more range-optimized evolution of the 7X. For range, the Global 8000 leads this group at roughly 8,000 nautical miles. The Falcon 8X typically follows at about 6,450 nautical miles, with the Falcon 7X around 5,950 nautical miles. The Falcon 6X is in a similar long-range bracket at roughly 5,500 nautical miles, prioritizing a very wide cabin over maximum distance. For passenger capacity, all can be configured for typical executive layouts in the low-to-mid teens. The Global 8000 is commonly arranged for about 13–19 passengers. The Falcon 6X is often configured around 12–16. The Falcon 7X and 8X are typically set up around 12–16 as well, with maximum seating possible higher depending on configuration.
