DASSAULT
The Dassault Falcon 900B was the first stretched, higher-thrust development of the original Falcon 900 line — three Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, 4,000 nm of range and three-zone Falcon cabin comfort at charter rates well below the 900EX and 900LX.

The Gulfstream G600 stretches the G500 platform to 6,600 nm of range — enough for London to Tokyo or New York to Dubai nonstop — with three living zones, Symmetry flight deck and panoramic Gulfstream windows.

EXPERT VERDICT
The Falcon 900B pulls ahead on airport access; the G600 answers with range / non-stop reach, group capacity and speed & block time. Both sit in the heavy jet class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.

DASSAULT
BEST FOR
Short-field departures
5,215 ft balanced field unlocks airports the G600 cannot use, putting passengers closer to the door.

Separate work, dine and rest areas on flights over six hours.
GULFSTREAM
BEST FOR
Longer non-stop reach

| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | G600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Paris → Dubai | 2,950 nm | G600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Miami → São Paulo | 3,500 nm | G600 | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Hong Kong → Sydney | 3,950 nm | G600 | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (3950 nm > 4,000 nm). |
Distances are great-circle approximations; actual fuel planning accounts for winds, weather and reserves.

Cabin comfort is the everyday difference passengers feel most. Both the Dassault Falcon 900B and Gulfstream G600 sit in the Heavy Jet class, so cabin height, width and layout differ subtly — on flights over 3 hours those details matter more than raw range. Ask us for a side-by-side floorplan.
