What the Dassault Falcon 900 is like

Iconic French trijet heavy with a wide three-zone cabin seating 12-14, capable of true transatlantic missions (London-New York, Paris-Dubai) nonstop. Its three-engine design gives excellent short-runway and hot-and-high performance, making it a favorite for Aspen, Geneva and other challenging airports.

Where the Dassault Falcon 900 flies nonstop

Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 4,000 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 900: charter questions

Typically 12 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 4,000 nautical miles (7,408 km, 4,603 statute miles), or roughly 8.5 hours at its typical cruise speed of 467 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 467 knots, about 537 mph or 865 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
Yes, on paper. New York to London is about 2,986 nautical miles, within the Dassault Falcon 900’s 4,000, and takes roughly 6.5 hours at cruise speed before taxi, climb and winds. Los Angeles to Tokyo (4,746 nm) is beyond it and needs a fuel stop. The operator confirms it for your passengers, bags and date.
A heavy jet. Large cabins for bigger groups, with the range to cross the Atlantic. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Bombardier Challenger 605, Bombardier Challenger 650, Embraer Legacy 650 and Gulfstream G350.
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.
