Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700
All five are ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jets, but they separate by mission length and typical cabin load. The Bombardier Global 8000 sits at the top end of range, marketed around 8,000 nautical miles, and is generally configured for about 14–19 passengers depending on layout. Dassault’s Falcon 6X is a newer large-cabin, long-range jet rather than a true ultra-long-range leader; it’s typically marketed around 5,500 nautical miles and commonly seats about 12–16. The Falcon 8X moves into the ultra-long-range class with roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range and typical configurations around 12–16 passengers. Gulfstream’s G650ER is a benchmark ultra-long-range aircraft at about 7,500 nautical miles, usually configured around 14–18 passengers. The Gulfstream G700 emphasizes a larger, more flexible cabin while still offering ultra-long-range performance (about 7,500 nautical miles), and it is typically configured around 13–19 passengers, often with more distinct living zones than peers.
