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.

EXPERT VERDICT
The Falcon 900B pulls ahead on range / non-stop reach, cabin comfort, airport access and speed & block time; the Legacy 600 answers with group capacity. 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.
Range / non-stop reach
Falcon 900B
4,000 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
Cabin comfort
Falcon 900B
Taller and/or wider cabin (6'2" × 7'8") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.
Group capacity
Legacy 600
Seats up to 13 — the right pick when the manifest grows.
Airport access
Falcon 900B
Shorter 5,215 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.
Speed & block time
Falcon 900B
Cruise of Mach 0.84 — shaves meaningful minutes off every long leg.

| ROUTE | DISTANCE | RECOMMENDED | WHY |
|---|---|---|---|
| London → New York | 3,000 nm | Falcon 900B | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Paris → Dubai | 2,950 nm | Falcon 900B | Both reach it, but the longer-legged option keeps more fuel reserves for weather and routing changes. |
| Miami → São Paulo | 3,500 nm | Falcon 900B | Only one reaches non-stop — the other would need a fuel stop (3500 nm > 3,400 nm). |
| Hong Kong → Sydney | 3,950 nm | Either | Both would require a tech stop on this routing — talk to us about positioning. |
