Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Gulfstream G280

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Gulfstream G280 sit in the “super-midsize” class, while the Dassault Falcon 7X is a larger, long-range heavy-cabin business jet. In range terms, the Falcon 7X leads by a wide margin, typically advertised around 5,950 nautical miles, enabling many nonstop intercontinental pairings. The Falcon 2000LXS is next, commonly listed around 4,000 nautical miles, suited to transcontinental U.S. and some transatlantic missions depending on payload and winds. The Gulfstream G280 is similar but generally a bit shorter-legged at roughly 3,600 nautical miles, strong for coast-to-coast and many North Atlantic city pairs with the right conditions. For passenger capacity, all can be configured for about 8 to 10 travelers in typical layouts, but the Falcon 7X’s larger cabin supports higher-density seating (often up to about 12–14) and more flexibility for zones and amenities. Overall, the G280 emphasizes super-midsize efficiency, the 2000LXS balances cabin comfort with strong runway performance, and the 7X targets true long-range capability and a larger-cabin experience.
