Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G800 1

All three are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets, but they emphasize slightly different strengths. The Bombardier Global 8000 is positioned as an ultra-long-range flagship with a published range of about 8,000 nautical miles, typically accommodating around 13–17 passengers depending on configuration. Dassault’s Falcon 8X sits in the same general category but is usually viewed as a slightly smaller long-range large-cabin tri-jet; it offers roughly 6,450 nautical miles of range and commonly seats about 12–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G800 is a newer ultra-long-range contender aimed at the very top of the segment, with a published range around 8,000 nautical miles and typical seating in the roughly 15–19 passenger range. In practical terms, the Global 8000 and G800 cluster at the highest range tier, while the Falcon 8X trades some maximum range for a different design approach and often a slightly smaller cabin and mission profile. Ranges and capacities vary with layout, payload, and operating conditions.
