Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Gulfstream G650er

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is the “large-cabin light” option in this group, typically seating about 8–10 passengers and offering roughly 4,000 nautical miles of range, making it well suited to transcontinental missions and many North Atlantic pairings with favorable conditions. The Falcon 900LX steps up as a long-range, tri-jet large-cabin aircraft, commonly configured for 12–14 passengers and providing about 4,750 nautical miles, giving more margin on longer overwater or hot-and-high departures. The Falcon 6X is a newer ultra-long-range large-cabin jet with a notably wide, tall cabin, typically 12–16 passengers and about 5,500 nautical miles of range. The Falcon 8X is Dassault’s flagship ultra-long-range tri-jet, often 12–16 passengers with roughly 6,450 nautical miles, aimed at very long intercontinental routes. The Gulfstream G650ER sits in the top tier for speed and range, generally 14–19 passengers with about 7,500 nautical miles, targeting the longest nonstop city pairs.
