Dassault Falcon 6x vs Gulfstream G800 1

In category terms, the Dassault Falcon 6X and Gulfstream G800 are both large-cabin, long-range business jets, but they target slightly different missions. The Falcon 6X is positioned as a long-range, ultra-wide-cabin aircraft optimized for comfort, airport flexibility, and efficient operation on intercontinental routes. The Gulfstream G800 sits at the very top end of the long-range segment, emphasizing maximum nonstop distance and high-speed global connectivity. On range, the G800 is the clear leader, offering an ultra-long-range capability of roughly 8,000 nautical miles class, enabling more city pairs nonstop. The Falcon 6X is also long-range, typically cited around the 5,500 nautical miles class, which still covers many transoceanic missions but with less margin for the longest routes. For passenger capacity, both can be configured for a similar number of travelers in typical executive layouts, commonly around 12 to 16 passengers, with maximum seating configurations reaching higher depending on interior options. In practice, operators choose cabin layouts based more on comfort zones and berthing than on maximizing seat count.
