Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800
Bombardier’s Global 8000 and Gulfstream’s G800 sit at the very top “ultra-long-range” end of the large-cabin business-jet category, aimed at owners who prioritize maximum intercontinental reach; both are marketed around roughly 8,000 nautical miles of range (depending on speed and mission profile) and typically accommodate about 8–19 passengers in various layouts. Gulfstream’s G700 is a closely related “ultra-long-range/large-cabin” flagship with slightly less published range than the G800 but an emphasis on cabin size and comfort; it is commonly configured for roughly 10–19 passengers, with a maximum around the high teens. Dassault’s Falcon 8X is also an ultra-long-range, large-cabin trijet, generally offering somewhat less range than the newest 8,000-nm-class leaders (about the mid‑6,000‑nm class) and typically carries about 8–16 passengers depending on configuration. In short, Global 8000 and G800 lead on range, G700 leans toward the biggest Gulfstream cabin experience, and Falcon 8X balances long range with efficient trijet performance and flexible capacity.
