What the Dassault Falcon 8X is like

Dassault's flagship ultra-long-range trijet: 6,450 nm of range covers nonstop city pairs like New York-Beijing, London-Singapore or Sao Paulo-Paris, with a quiet three-zone cabin typically seating 14. Its trijet short-field performance opens up challenging airports (e.g. London City) that competing ultra-long-range jets can't serve.

Where the Dassault Falcon 8X flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 6,450 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.

Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.

Questions

Dassault Falcon 8X: charter questions

Typically 14 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 6,450 nautical miles (11,945 km, 7,423 statute miles), or roughly 13 hours at its typical cruise speed of 488 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 488 knots, about 562 mph or 904 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. Los Angeles to Tokyo is about 4,746 nautical miles, within the Dassault Falcon 8X’s 6,450, and takes roughly 9.5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. New York to Hong Kong (6,989 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
An ultra-long-range jet. Flagship cabins with separate zones, for intercontinental flights nonstop. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Gulfstream V, Gulfstream G550, Bombardier Global 6000 and Dassault Falcon 7X.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
