Falcon 8X vs Global 7500
The Global 7500 costs about $2,700 an hour more. What that buys, and what it closes off: the Falcon 8X can use KASE and the other cannot.

Specification against specification
Published figures. The better of the two on each measure is marked.
| Measure | Falcon 8X | Global 7500 |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers | 16 | 17 |
| Range | 6,450 nm | 7,700 nm |
| Cruise | 488 kt | 516 kt |
| Cabin heightThe specification that most changes how a four-hour flight feels. | 6.2 ft | 6.2 ft |
| Cabin length | 42.7 ft | 54.4 ft |
| Runway neededShorter is better: it decides which fields are open to you. | 5,880 ft | 5,800 ft |
| WingspanSpan-limited fields refuse on this number alone. | 86.3 ft | 104 ft |
| Hourly rate | $12,400–15,100 | $15,100–18,400 |
On Teterboro to West Palm Beach — 902 nm, a route both can fly — the Falcon 8X prices at about $32,500 and the Global 7500 at $37,500: a difference of $5,100 for the same trip. Estimates, not offers.
Where only one of them can go
Busy fields where one is excluded outright by published runway length or a wingspan limit. This decides more trips than any range figure.
| Field | Open to | Why the other cannot |
|---|---|---|
| KASE Aspen, CO | Falcon 8X | wingspan 104 ft exceeds the 95 ft limit at KASE |
Which one for your trip
A specification comparison answers which aircraft is better. It cannot answer which is available on your date, near your departure field, at a price worth paying — and that is usually what decides it. Ask, and a broker checks both with contracted operators.
