Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700
In category terms, the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G700 sit at the top end of the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet segment, while the Dassault Falcon 8X is also ultra-long-range but typically viewed as a slightly smaller, three‑engine large-cabin competitor emphasizing efficiency and airport flexibility. On range, the Global 8000 is the standout, commonly cited at about 8,000 nautical miles, making it the longest-legged of the three. The G700 follows with roughly 7,500 nautical miles, still firmly in true intercontinental territory. The Falcon 8X is close behind at about 6,450 nautical miles, enabling many nonstop transoceanic missions but with less ultimate reach than the other two. For passenger capacity, all can be configured in multiple layouts, but the G700 generally leads with typical high-comfort seating around 13–16 and maximum configurations that can reach about 19. The Global 8000 is similar, often 13–16 typical with up to about 19 maximum. The Falcon 8X is usually arranged for about 12–14, with maximum seating commonly around 16.
