Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800"
In category, all four are ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jets, with the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 positioned as the longest-range flagships, the Gulfstream G700 emphasizing maximum cabin size and comfort, and the Dassault Falcon 8X offering a slightly smaller large-cabin footprint with strong efficiency and short/steep-approach capability typical of Dassault’s design philosophy. On range, the Global 8000 and G800 generally lead the group with published ranges around the high-7,000 to ~8,000 nautical mile class, while the G700 and Falcon 8X sit a step below in the ~6,400 to ~7,500 nautical mile class depending on configuration and reserves. On passenger capacity, typical executive layouts are broadly similar, usually seating around 10 to 16, but maximum certified seating differs: the Falcon 8X is commonly cited up to about 19, the Global 8000 around the high teens, and the G700 and G800 often cited up to about 19 as well, with real-world capacity driven more by cabin zones, crew rest, and mission profile than by the certification maximum.
