Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G800

Bombardier’s Global 8000, Dassault’s Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream’s G800 all sit in the ultra-long-range large-cabin category, but they emphasize different strengths. The Global 8000 is positioned at the very top end for range, typically cited around 8,000 nautical miles class, making it one of the longest-legged business jets available, and it generally accommodates about 13–19 passengers depending on layout. The Gulfstream G800 is likewise an ultra-long-range flagship, commonly quoted around the 8,000 nautical mile class as well, with typical seating also around 13–19 passengers, competing directly with the Global 8000 on intercontinental missions. The Falcon 8X is a large-cabin, long-range trijet, usually listed around the 6,450 nautical mile class, which is shorter than the other two but still firmly intercontinental; its typical passenger capacity is broadly similar, often about 12–16 with maximums depending on configuration. In short, Global 8000 and G800 lead on range, while the 8X offers slightly less range in a comparable large-cabin footprint.
