Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400

The Dassault Falcon 900LX, Embraer Praetor 600, and Gulfstream G400 sit in different business-jet categories and that largely drives their range and cabin capacity. The Falcon 900LX is typically considered a large-cabin long-range tri-jet, aimed at intercontinental missions. It offers the longest range of the three at roughly 4,700–4,750 nautical miles, and it’s commonly configured for about 12–14 passengers (with higher-density layouts possible). The Praetor 600 is a super-midsize jet, optimized for slightly shorter long-haul missions and strong efficiency; its range is about 4,000–4,020 nautical miles, and typical seating is around 8–12 passengers. The Gulfstream G400 is positioned as a large-cabin long-range jet in Gulfstream’s lineup; it targets transoceanic capability with an advertised range around 4,200 nautical miles and usually accommodates roughly 10–12 passengers in a standard executive layout. In short, Falcon 900LX leads on range and spaciousness, Praetor 600 is the super-midsize efficiency play, and G400 splits the difference with a newer large-cabin long-range profile.
