Dassault Falcon 900lx vs Gulfstream G650er

The Dassault Falcon 900LX and Gulfstream G650ER sit in different business-jet categories. The Falcon 900LX is typically considered a large-cabin, long-range trijet designed for efficient intercontinental missions and strong runway performance, while the G650ER is an ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin flagship aimed at the longest nonstop routes and higher cruise speeds. In range, the Falcon 900LX is generally rated around 4,750 nautical miles, which covers many transatlantic trips and a wide set of long-haul city pairs. The Gulfstream G650ER is built for significantly longer reach, commonly published around 7,500 nautical miles, enabling nonstop missions such as New York to Hong Kong or Los Angeles to Sydney under favorable conditions. Passenger capacity also differs. The Falcon 900LX is usually configured for about 12 to 14 passengers, with maximum layouts higher depending on operator choices. The G650ER typically seats about 14 to 19 passengers in common executive layouts, again with maximum capacity varying by configuration, and offers a larger cabin to support more zones and amenities on very long flights.
