A head-to-head look at two of the most-chartered aircraft in the ultra long range class.
DASSAULT
The Dassault Falcon 7X is the only three-engine ultra-long-range jet in production — its trijet configuration offers superior safety, smoothness and short-runway access. Certified for London City Airport, it connects city centres to global destinations in a way no rival can.

The Dassault Falcon 6X has the tallest and widest purpose-built business-jet cabin in service — 6'6" tall and 8'6" wide. 5,500 nm of range and the same short-runway capability that defines the Falcon brand.

EXPERT VERDICT
The Falcon 7X pulls ahead on range / non-stop reach and speed & block time; the Falcon 6X answers with cabin comfort, group capacity and 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
Falcon 7X
5,950 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
Cabin comfort
Falcon 6X
Taller and/or wider cabin (6'6" × 8'6") — better for long flights and stand-up movement.
Group capacity
Falcon 6X
Seats up to 16 — the right pick when the manifest grows.
Airport access
Falcon 6X
Shorter 5,480 ft balanced-field requirement — opens up restricted alpine, island and city-adjacent airfields.
Speed & block time
Falcon 7X
Cruise of Mach 0.90 — shaves meaningful minutes off every long leg.
