Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G280

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Gulfstream G280 sit in the super‑midsize category, while the Dassault Falcon 6X is a larger, long‑range large‑cabin jet. In range terms, the Falcon 2000LXS is typically around 4,000 nautical miles, making it well suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and many North Atlantic city pairs with favorable winds. The G280 offers slightly longer reach at roughly 3,600–3,900 nautical miles (depending on assumptions and payload), often comparable in real-world mission planning and strong for its class. The Falcon 6X steps up materially, with about 5,500 nautical miles of range, enabling longer nonstop intercontinental routes and more flexibility for headwinds and alternate requirements. For passenger capacity, the Falcon 2000LXS is commonly configured for about 8–10 passengers, the G280 for about 8–10, and the Falcon 6X typically for 12–16, with a larger cabin that better supports multiple living zones and higher-comfort layouts on long flights.
