Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400

The Dassault Falcon 2000S is best viewed as a large-cabin, super-midsize business jet: it typically carries about 8 to 10 passengers and offers an approximate range around 3,300 to 3,350 nautical miles, making it well suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and many North Atlantic city pairs with favorable winds and payload. The Gulfstream G280 sits in the super-midsize category but emphasizes speed and range efficiency: it generally accommodates about 8 to 10 passengers and is typically quoted around 3,600 nautical miles of range, giving it an edge over the 2000S for longer nonstop legs while remaining in a similar passenger bracket. The Gulfstream G400 steps up into the large-cabin, long-range class: it’s commonly configured for roughly 10 to 12 passengers and is marketed with about 4,200 nautical miles of range, positioning it for longer intercontinental missions than either the Falcon 2000S or G280, with more cabin volume and comfort for extended flights.
