Bombardier Global 8000 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G800 1"
In category terms, the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 sit at the very top of the ultra-long-range business jet market, while the Dassault Falcon 8X is also ultra-long-range but is typically positioned a step below those two for absolute range. For range, the Global 8000 is advertised at about 8,000 nautical miles, the G800 at about 8,000 nautical miles, and the Falcon 8X at about 6,450 nautical miles (all figures depend on speed and mission assumptions). For passenger capacity, all three can be configured for roughly 8 to 19 passengers depending on interior layout, but typical real-world executive configurations are commonly around 10 to 16. The Global 8000 and G800 generally emphasize maximum nonstop city-pair capability and high-speed long-haul performance, whereas the Falcon 8X is often chosen for its efficient long-range capability and operational flexibility while carrying similar typical cabin loads.
