Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are long-range, large-cabin business jets aimed at intercontinental missions, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a smaller “super versatile” light/medium jet optimized for shorter trips and access to more challenging airfields. In range, the G700 typically leads with roughly about 7,500 nautical miles, enabling many ultra-long nonstop city pairs. The Falcon 8X follows closely at about 6,450 nautical miles, also solidly in the long-range category. The PC-24 is in a different class at roughly about 2,000 nautical miles, better suited to regional and transcontinental (but not ultra-long) flying. For passenger capacity, the G700 generally carries the most, commonly configured for around 13 to 19 passengers depending on layout. The Falcon 8X is usually configured for about 12 to 16 passengers. The PC-24 typically seats fewer, often around 6 to 10 in executive layouts, trading cabin volume and endurance for operational flexibility and the ability to serve more airports.
