- How much does it cost to charter a Dassault Falcon?
- Typical 2026 hourly rates: Falcon 2000LXS from $8,500/hr, Falcon 900LX from $9,800/hr, Falcon 7X from $11,500/hr, Falcon 8X from $13,200/hr. All-inclusive of crew, fuel, fees and catering. Falcons are typically 15–25% more fuel-efficient than Gulfstream or Bombardier equivalents on the same mission.
- Falcon 7X vs Falcon 8X — which should I charter?
- The 8X is the 7X's direct evolution: same three-engine layout, +500 nm of range (now 6,450 nm), a 3-zone cabin and slightly lower fuel burn. Charter the 8X for trans-Atlantic and longer; the 7X remains the cheaper option for European intercontinental hops.
- Why do Falcons have three engines?
- The 7X, 8X and 6X use a centre-mounted third engine for redundancy on extended overwater (ETOPS) operations. It also lets the aircraft maintain full climb performance on one engine out, which is why Falcons handle hot-and-high airfields no twin-jet competitor can.
- Which airports can a Falcon 7X or 8X access that other heavies can't?
- London City (LCY), Lugano (LUG), St. Moritz (SMV), Aspen (ASE), Telluride (TEX), Sion (SIR) and London Biggin Hill steep-approach runway. The Falcon family is the only large-cabin jet line certified for the steep approaches these airports require.
- How many passengers fit on a Falcon 8X?
- Up to 16 in maximum density, 12–14 in standard club layout, with sleeping for six across a fully convertible divan and lie-flat club seats. The 8X's cabin is the longest in the Falcon family at 13 metres.
- When does the Falcon 10X enter service?
- Dassault has confirmed entry into service in 2027. We will offer charter on the 10X as soon as the first aircraft enter commercial operation; pre-order priority for repeat clients is already open.
- Are Falcons quieter than Gulfstream or Bombardier jets?
- The 8X cabin measures 49 dBA in cruise — quieter than a G650ER (52 dBA) and comparable to the Global 7500. The three-engine layout, FalconCabin HD+ acoustics and reinforced fuselage all contribute.
- How quickly can a Falcon be positioned for charter?
- Falcon 7X and 8X aircraft are concentrated in Europe and the Middle East — typical positioning is 3–6 hours across those regions and 8–12 hours into North America. The Falcon 2000 fleet is wider and pre-positions almost anywhere within 4 hours.
