Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 8x

Dassault’s Falcon 6X and Falcon 8X are both long-range, large-cabin business jets, but they target slightly different missions. The Falcon 6X is best described as a large-cabin, long-range jet optimized for cabin space and comfort, featuring one of the widest cabins in its class. The Falcon 8X sits a step higher as an ultra-long-range flagship, aimed at maximum intercontinental reach. In range, the Falcon 6X is typically quoted at about 5,500 nautical miles, which comfortably supports long transcontinental and many transatlantic routes. The Falcon 8X extends that to roughly 6,450 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop city pairs at the margins of global travel and providing more routing flexibility with reserves. Passenger capacity is similar in practical executive layouts. The Falcon 6X commonly accommodates around 12 to 16 passengers depending on configuration, while the Falcon 8X is often arranged for about 12 to 16 as well, with maximum certified seating higher in denser layouts. Overall, choose the 6X for cabin-first missions and the 8X when range is the priority.
