Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Phenom 300e

The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is a super‑midsize business jet, typically seating about 8–10 passengers, with a range around 4,000 nautical miles, making it well suited to transcontinental missions and some thinner transatlantic routes. The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, commonly configured for roughly 12–16 passengers, with range near 6,450 nautical miles, enabling nonstop intercontinental city pairs. The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a long‑range large‑cabin trijet, often arranged for about 12–14 passengers, with range around 4,750 nautical miles, positioned between the 2000LXS and 8X for distance while retaining a spacious cabin. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers depending on layout, with range around 2,000–2,200 nautical miles, optimized for shorter regional to medium missions with lower operating costs. Overall, passenger space and range generally increase from the Phenom 300E to the 2000LXS, then the 900LX, with the 8X offering the greatest intercontinental reach.
