G700 vs Falcon 8X

A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the ultra long range class.

GULFSTREAM

Gulfstream G700

The Gulfstream G700 is the new flagship of the Gulfstream fleet — the largest, longest-range and most luxurious aircraft the company has ever built. Five distinct living zones, Mach 0.935 maximum cruise and 7,750 nm range place it at the absolute summit of private aviation.

EXPERT VERDICT

The G700 is the stronger all-rounder, but the Falcon 8X still wins on the metrics that matter to specific buyers.

The G700 pulls ahead on range / non-stop reach, cabin comfort, group capacity and speed & block time; the Falcon 8X answers with airport access. Both sit in the ultra long range class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.

Range / non-stop reach

G700

7,750 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.

Cabin comfort

G700

Taller and/or wider cabin (6'3" × 8'2") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.

Group capacity

G700

Seats up to 19 — the right pick when the manifest grows.

Airport access

Falcon 8X

Shorter 5,880 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.

Speed & block time

G700

Cruise of Mach 0.94 — shaves meaningful minutes off every long leg.

Verdict based on published manufacturer specifications, charter market data and Limitless Sky brokerage experience.

PROS & CONS

Honest assessment

Gulfstream G700

PROS

+Largest Gulfstream cabin ever
+Master suite with stand-up shower
+Mach 0.935 — fastest in segment
+Longer legs than the Falcon 8X (7,750 nm vs 6,450 nm) — fewer fuel stops on intercontinental missions.
+Carries up to 19 passengers vs 16 on the Falcon 8X — better for larger groups.
+Faster cruise (Mach 0.935) trims block time on every leg vs the Falcon 8X.

CONS

DASSAULT

Dassault Falcon 8X

PROS

+Longest-range Falcon ever built
+Three-engine safety and ride
+Quietest ultra-long cabin
+Shorter runway requirement (5,880 ft) unlocks airfields the G700 cannot use.

CONS

−Shorter range than the G700 (6,450 nm vs 7,750 nm) — may require a tech stop on long sectors.
−Maximum 16-seat layout is tight if you regularly travel with more than 16 — the G700 adds 3 seats.
−Slightly slower in cruise than the G700 (Mach 0.90 vs Mach 0.935).
−Tighter baggage capacity than the G700 (140 cu ft vs 195 cu ft).

ROUTE	DISTANCE	RECOMMENDED	WHY
London → Singapore	5,900 nm	G700	Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes.
New York → Tokyo	5,850 nm	G700	Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes.
Dubai → Los Angeles	7,250 nm	G700	Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (7250 nm > 6,450 nm).
Hong Kong → New York	7,000 nm	G700	Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (7000 nm > 6,450 nm).
