Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G800 1

By category, the Dassault Falcon 900LX and Embraer Praetor 600 are typically positioned in the large-cabin segment, while the Gulfstream G650ER and Gulfstream G800 are ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin business jets. In range, the Praetor 600 is the shortest-legged of the group at roughly 4,000 nautical miles class, suitable for many transcontinental missions but not true intercontinental city pairs. The Falcon 900LX steps up to about the 4,700 nautical mile class, enabling more transoceanic flexibility. The G650ER moves into a different tier at about 7,500 nautical miles, designed for frequent nonstop intercontinental routes. The G800 extends that capability further, around the 8,000+ nautical mile class, aimed at the longest nonstop missions Gulfstream offers. In passenger capacity, all can be configured variably, but the Praetor 600 generally carries fewer passengers (often about 8–12), the Falcon 900LX commonly supports roughly 10–14, and the G650ER and G800 usually accommodate larger groups in greater comfort, often around 12–18 depending on layout.
