Charter a Dassault Falcon 2000DX

The Dassault Falcon 2000DX is the first major upgrade of the Falcon 2000 series - a twin-engine large-cabin business jet that is 183 cm shorter than the Falcon 900 from which the series derives, certified in 1995. The DX designation reflects the primary improvement: range extended from 5,556 km on the original Falcon 2000 to 6,020 km for 8 passengers. To achieve this, Dassault applied the aerodynamic wing profile of the Falcon 50 with a 45 cm increase in wingspan over the original Falcon 2000 wing. The result is a Falcon 2000DX that covers London to New York with a short fuel stop, London to Dubai non-stop and the full Gulf and North Africa from UK airports.

The Falcon 2000DX is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines, each controlled by a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) for optimum performance. Engine parameters display on three LCD screens. The cockpit is the Honeywell EASy suite with four very large LCD displays in a T-shaped arrangement, an advanced synoptic system and integrated navigation functions including graphical flight planning and high-resolution terrain display. The 7.98 m cabin is 2.34 m wide - sufficient for three-across seating - with 3.7 m³ of in-flight-accessible luggage space. Charter prices start from approximately £4,400 per flight hour.

Why charter the Falcon 2000DX?

• 6,020 km range - 464 km more than the original Falcon 2000. Its 6,020 km range is the primary improvement over the original Falcon 2000 (5,556 km). The additional range is achieved through the Falcon 50 wing profile with a 45 cm wingspan increase. For groups of 8 the extended range covers London to Dubai non-stop, London to Riyadh non-stop and London to New York with one short fuel stop - sectors the original Falcon 2000 could not reach without additional stops;
• Falcon 50 wing profile with 45 cm wingspan increase - proven aerodynamics. The Falcon 2000DX uses the Falcon 50 aerodynamic wing profile as the Falcon 50 - the world's first civilian aircraft with supercritical wings (certified 1979) - with a 45 cm span increase for additional lift and range. This wing is the aerodynamic foundation of the entire Dassault Falcon family. Applying it to the Falcon 2000DX provides the aerodynamic efficiency that enables the range extension without new engine development;
• Honeywell EASy cockpit with four large LCD displays in T-arrangement. The Falcon 2000DX uses the Honeywell EASy avionics suite - the same digital cockpit subsequently standard on the Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X. Four very large LCD displays in a T-shaped arrangement provide an advanced synoptic system and integrated navigation including graphical flight planning and high-resolution terrain display. No separate electronic instrument displays for engine status or alarm panels are required - the EASy consolidates all functions;
• Two FADEC-controlled PW308C engines - optimum performance with interval of 7,000 hours. Each PW308C engine is controlled by a FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) system that optimises performance automatically throughout the flight envelope. The maintenance interval between engine services is 7,000 hours - among the longest in the large-cabin twin category. Engine parameters display on three dedicated LCD screens in the cockpit;
• 2.34 m cabin width - three-across seating in a large-cabin twin. The Falcon 2000DX cabin is 2.34 m wide - the same width as the Falcon 900 and Falcon 7X and sufficient for three-across seating across the aisle. This width is notably wider than the Gulfstream G450 (2.24 m) and the Challenger 605 (2.49 m - comparable). For groups of 8 the 2.34 m width provides the face-to-face working space typical of larger trijets at large-cabin twin rates;
• 12,500 m in 17 minutes - exceptional climb performance. The Falcon 2000DX climbs to 12,500 m in 17 minutes. This rapid climb reaches efficient cruise altitude faster than most competing large-cabin twins, reducing fuel burn on the climb phase and reaching the cruise flight level above weather systems quickly. On short-to-medium European sectors where climb time represents a significant portion of total flight time, this performance is operationally useful.

Charter cost - Falcon 2000DX prices from UK airports

Hourly rates run from approximately £4,400 to £5,400 - in the large-cabin twin category, above the Falcon 2000 and comparable to the Challenger 605 and G450. For 6 to 12 passengers on Gulf and Near East missions, the Falcon 2000DX's 6,020 km range and EASy cockpit at these rates provide strong value versus competing large-cabin alternatives.

Ideal routes for the Falcon 2000DX

The Falcon 2000DX delivers most value on missions where the 6,020 km range extension over the original Falcon 2000, EASy cockpit precision and 2.34 m cabin width are the primary selection criteria for groups of 6 to 12:

• UK to Gulf non-stop (5.5 to 6.5 hours). Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Doha are within non-stop range. The Falcon 2000DX's 6,020 km covers the full Gulf from UK airports and extends beyond the original Falcon 2000 at comparable rates. For 6 to 8 passengers on Gulf corporate missions, the EASy cockpit with GPS approach capability and the 2.34 m cabin width provide a specification above many competing large-cabin twins;
• UK to Mediterranean, Near East and Africa (2 to 7 hours). Athens, Istanbul, Cairo, Lagos, Nairobi and Dakar are all within range. The 6,020 km capability covers the full Near East and West Africa from UK airports non-stop - sectors where the original Falcon 2000 was at the limit or beyond;
• Transatlantic with short fuel stop (8 to 10 hours total). London to New York with one fuel stop is achievable. The 45 cm wingspan extension provides the additional range that makes this routing practical. The EASy cockpit GPS approach capability is specifically relevant on New York terminal area procedures;
• Groups of 8 to 12 who want Falcon 900-width cabin at twin-engine rates. The Falcon 2000DX cabin width of 2.34 m - equal to the Falcon 900 and Falcon 7X - provides three-across seating at large-cabin twin rates. For groups of 8 to 12 where the 2.34 m width is the primary selection criterion, the Falcon 2000DX delivers Falcon 900 cabin standard at rates approximately 25 to 35% below the Falcon 900;
• Operations where 7,000-hour engine maintenance intervals matter. For operators and flight departments that schedule aircraft based on maintenance intervals, the PW308C's 7,000-hour interval between engine services reduces planned downtime versus competitors with shorter intervals. This is operationally relevant for aircraft on intensive intercontinental schedules.

Cabin and in-flight experience

The Falcon 2000DX cabin measures 7.98 m long, 2.34 m wide and 1.88 m high - full stand-up throughout. The 2.34 m width allows three-across seating across the aisle. Standard layout divides the cabin into forward and rear seating areas. The standing toilet and 3.7 m³ of in-flight-accessible luggage space are standard. Maximum capacity is 19 passengers; owners typically configure for 8 with two crew.

The Honeywell EASy cockpit provides four large LCD displays in a T-shaped arrangement, eliminating the need for separate engine status display and alarm panel systems. The two PW308C engines with FADEC control display parameters on three LCD screens. At 850 km/h cruise the Falcon 2000DX is fast for a large-cabin twin and the 17-minute climb to 12,500 m reaches efficient cruise altitude quickly.

Technical specifications

Falcon 2000DX vs similar aircraft

• Falcon 2000DX vs Falcon 2000. The original has 5,556 km range versus 6,020 km here - 464 km less. The DX adds the Falcon 50 wing profile with 45 cm span increase, PW308C engines with FADEC and the EASy cockpit. Charter rates are broadly comparable. For missions within original Falcon 2000 range where EASy and the extended range are not required, the Falcon 2000DX or original are both suitable. For Gulf, Near East and West Africa non-stop from UK airports, the Falcon 2000DX's extended range is the differentiating factor;
• Falcon 2000DX vs Challenger 605. The Challenger 605 has greater range (6,852 km vs 6,020 km) and a wider cabin (2.49 m vs 2.34 m). Charter rates are broadly comparable. The Falcon 2000DX counters with the EASy cockpit (four large LCD T-arrangement), FADEC-controlled PW308C engines and the Falcon 50 supercritical wing lineage. For clients who prioritise the EASy avionics suite and Dassault engineering standard, the Falcon 2000DX is competitive with the Challenger 605;
• Falcon 2000DX vs Falcon 2000 EX. The Falcon 2000EX further improves on the DX specification within the same series. It retains the Falcon 2000 design elements with the DX-specific improvements: PW308C engines, EASy cockpit and extended range. For missions within Falcon 2000DX range where the EX's additional improvements are not required, the DX provides the core upgraded Falcon 2000 specification.
