Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Gulfstream G600

The Dassault Falcon 2000S sits in the super‑midsize category, offering the shortest range of this group at roughly 3,300–3,500 nautical miles and typically seating about 8–10 passengers. Moving up, the Falcon 900LX is a large‑cabin tri‑jet with longer reach around 4,700–4,800 nautical miles and a typical load of 10–12. The Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X are ultra‑long‑range tri‑jets; the 7X is about 5,950 nautical miles and commonly configured for 12–14, while the 8X stretches range to about 6,450 nautical miles with similar typical seating, often 12–16 depending on layout. The newer Falcon 6X is a large/ultra‑long‑range twin with a notably wide, tall cabin, about 5,500 nautical miles of range, and usually 12–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G600 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin twin, generally comparable to the 6X/7X class on capacity (often 12–16) with range around 6,600 nautical miles, making it the longest‑legged option here alongside the Falcon 8X.
