Charter a Dassault Falcon 900LX

The Dassault Falcon 900LX is an ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet combining French Dassault engineering with a trijet configuration that provides both extended range and an additional safety margin on long overwater and intercontinental sectors. At 8,800 km range the Falcon 900LX covers London to Tokyo non-stop, London to Singapore non-stop, London to Beijing and London to New York with significant fuel reserve. The three-engine layout - a Dassault signature that distinguishes the Falcon 900 family from twin-engine competitors - provides performance redundancy specifically valued by operators on transoceanic routings where diversion options are limited.

The 10.11 m cabin is divided into three zones: a four-seat forward section with folding tables; a central club zone with four armchairs around a table on the left and a low chest of drawers with compartments on the right; and a rear "study" section furnished with an armchair with desk and a three-seat sofa that converts to a full sleeping berth. A full kitchen at the front includes a coffee maker, oven, ice containers, microwave and sink with hot and cold water. A walk-in closet, rear restroom and in-flight-accessible baggage compartment complete the specification. Charter prices start from approximately £6,800 per flight hour.

Why charter the Falcon 900LX?

• Three engines - the Dassault trijet safety and performance advantage. This aircraft uses three engines where most competing ultra-long-range jets use two. On long overwater sectors - London to Tokyo, London to Singapore, transatlantic and transpacific routings - three engines provide an additional performance reserve and diversion flexibility that twin-engine aircraft cannot match. This is the defining technical characteristic of the entire Falcon 900 family and a primary reason corporate flight departments specify the type for intercontinental schedules;
• 8,800 km range - London to Tokyo, London to Singapore non-stop. At 8,800 km the Falcon 900LX covers London to Tokyo (approximately 9,500 km - close, typically non-stop with favourable winds), London to Singapore (10,840 km - one stop), London to New York non-stop with reserve and London to Beijing non-stop. For clients with regular Asia-Pacific schedules, this range eliminates or minimises fuel stops that add hours to total journey time;
• Three distinct cabin zones - forward, club and study/sleep. The 10.11 m cabin divides into three operationally distinct areas: a four-seat forward section for working or dining; a central club zone with four armchairs around a table for meetings; and a rear study zone with individual desk and a three-seat sofa that converts to a full-length sleeping berth. On 10 to 12-hour intercontinental sectors, the ability to sleep flat in the rear zone significantly affects arrival condition;
• Full kitchen with oven, microwave and hot water - not a galley. The Falcon 900LX forward kitchen is specified for full meal preparation: coffee maker, oven, microwave, ice containers and sink with hot and cold water. On long-haul sectors this is a meaningful distinction from the galley facilities of smaller jets where hot food is limited to what can be reheated from catering. Combined with the walk-in closet, the forward section provides pre-flight preparation and in-flight service space;
• 15,550 m maximum altitude - above virtually all weather. At 15,550 m (51,000 ft) the Falcon 900LX cruises at the same altitude band as the Citation X and Gulfstream G550, well above all commercial airline traffic and virtually all weather systems encountered on intercontinental routing. At this altitude the aircraft also achieves more efficient cruise than competitors limited to lower certified ceilings;
• 2.34 m cabin width - wider than Gulfstream G550 and Global 6000. At 2.34 m the Falcon 900LX cabin is wider than the Gulfstream G550 (2.24 m) and comparable to the Global 6000 (2.41 m). On 10-hour intercontinental sectors, 10 cm of additional width per side in a face-to-face seating arrangement is a substantive passenger comfort difference.

Charter cost - Falcon 900LX prices from UK airports

Hourly rates run from approximately £6,800 to £8,200 - in the ultra-long-range large-cabin category, broadly comparable to the Gulfstream G550 and above the Global 5000. For 6 to 8 passengers on Asia-Pacific and long transatlantic missions, the Falcon 900LX's three-engine configuration and three-zone cabin justify the rate premium over competing twin-engine alternatives.

Indicative one-way prices from UK airports:

• London to New York - from £58,000 (8 passengers, non-stop, approximately 7 hours 30 minutes);
• London to Dubai - from £42,000 (8 passengers, non-stop, approximately 6 hours 30 minutes);

Ideal routes for the Falcon 900LX

The Falcon 900LX is built for intercontinental missions where 8,800 km range, three-engine safety margin and three-zone sleep capability are all operationally relevant:

• London to Asia-Pacific (10 to 12 hours). Beijing, Mumbai, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong are all within range from UK airports, some non-stop. The three-engine configuration is specifically valued on transoceanic Asia routings where ETOPS restrictions on twin-engine aircraft limit routing options. The Falcon 900LX is not subject to ETOPS constraints and can follow direct great-circle routes over the North Pole and Arctic Ocean;
• London to Americas non-stop (7 to 10 hours). New York, Washington, Miami, São Paulo (with one stop), Los Angeles (with one stop) and Toronto are all within reach. The non-stop New York and Miami capability eliminates the fuel stop that aircraft with less range require, saving 1 to 1.5 hours of total journey time;
• Missions where flat sleep in the rear zone is required. The three-seat rear sofa converts to a full sleeping berth. On sectors above 8 hours where passengers need to arrive rested - investor meetings in New York, board meetings in Beijing, medical travel to specialist facilities - the Falcon 900LX rear zone provides full-length sleep capability;
• Long-haul groups of 8 to 10 using all three cabin zones simultaneously. Three operationally distinct zones allow different activities in parallel: a working group in the forward section, a resting group in the club zone and a sleeping passenger in the rear study. On 10-hour intercontinental sectors with a mixed group, this parallel use of space is only possible in a three-zone aircraft;
• UK to Gulf and Africa non-stop (5 to 7 hours). Dubai, Riyadh, Nairobi, Lagos and Johannesburg (one stop) are all within range. For Gulf and Africa missions the Falcon 900LX is over-specified in range but the three-zone cabin and full kitchen represent a comfort standard that clients familiar with this aircraft specifically request.

Cabin and in-flight experience

This aircraft cabin measures 10.11 m long, 2.34 m wide and 1.88 m high - full stand-up headroom throughout. Three zones provide genuinely separate activity spaces on long-haul sectors. The forward section has four seats with folding work tables. The central club zone seats four armchairs around a table with a low chest of drawers and storage compartments on the right side. The rear study zone has an individual armchair with desk and a three-seat sofa that converts to a full-length sleeping berth.

The forward kitchen is equipped for full meal preparation: coffee maker, oven, microwave, ice containers and sink with hot and cold water. A walk-in closet is adjacent. The rear restroom and in-flight-accessible baggage compartment are positioned to minimise disruption to passengers in the forward and central zones during long-haul sectors. At 893 km/h cruise and 15,550 m maximum altitude, the Falcon 900LX operates at the top of the business aviation performance envelope.

Technical specifications

Falcon 900LX vs similar aircraft

• Falcon 900LX vs Gulfstream G550. The G550 has more range (6,750 nm vs 4,750 nm), a 100% fresh air system and the 1,800 m pressurisation advantage. Charter rates are broadly comparable. The Falcon 900LX counters with three engines versus the G550's two - a meaningful safety and routing advantage on transoceanic sectors - and the three-zone cabin with full kitchen versus the G550's typically two-zone layout. For clients where trijet safety and the specific Dassault cabin configuration are priorities, the Falcon 900LX is preferable;
• Falcon 900LX vs Global 6000. The Global 6000 has greater range (6,000 nm vs 4,750 nm), a slightly wider cabin (2.41 m vs 2.34 m) and a different cabin layout. Charter rates are broadly comparable. The Falcon 900LX counters with three engines, no ETOPS restrictions on overwater routing and the specific three-zone cabin that includes the convertible sleep sofa. For clients routing over restricted airspace or ocean where routing flexibility matters, the trijet is advantageous;
• Falcon 900LX vs Falcon 7X. The Falcon 7X is the larger trijet with more range (5,950 nm vs 4,750 nm), a longer cabin and digital fly-by-wire flight controls. Charter rates for the Falcon 7X run approximately 15 to 25% higher. For ultra-long-range missions beyond the Falcon 900LX envelope (London to Los Angeles non-stop, London to Sydney), the Falcon 7X is necessary. For most Asia and Americas missions the Falcon 900LX provides the trijet advantage at lower rates.

Frequently asked questions - Falcon 900LX charter

How much does it cost to charter a Dassault Falcon 900LX?
Charter rates run from approximately £6,800 to £8,200 per flight hour. London to New York non-stop costs from £58,000 for 8 passengers. London to Dubai costs from £42,000. London to Beijing costs from £78,000. All quotes from Private Jets UK are fully itemised with no hidden charges.

Why does the Falcon 900LX have three engines?
Three engines are the defining Dassault engineering choice for the Falcon 900LX family. On long overwater sectors the trijet configuration provides an additional performance reserve if one engine requires attention, and - crucially - the Falcon 900LX is not subject to ETOPS (Extended Operations) restrictions that apply to twin-engine aircraft on overwater routes. This allows direct great-circle routing over oceans and polar regions without the diversion airport requirements that constrain twin-engine alternatives.

Can the Falcon 900LX fly London to Tokyo non-stop?
With favourable polar winds, yes. The 8,800 km range is close to the London-Tokyo great-circle distance of approximately 9,500 km; with tailwinds on the polar route and optimised fuel load for the specific passenger and baggage configuration, non-stop operations are achievable. Private Jets UK assesses each specific routing at booking to confirm non-stop feasibility.

How many passengers can fly on a Falcon 900LX?
Up to 14. The optimal configuration is 8 passengers using all three cabin zones. Extended configurations to 12 or 14 compress the three zones but retain the full kitchen and restroom. Private Jets UK confirms the specific layout at booking.

What is the rear sofa on the Falcon 900LX?
A three-seat sofa in the rear study zone converts to a full-length sleeping berth. On intercontinental sectors above 8 hours - London to New York, London to Beijing, London to Singapore - the rear zone functions as a sleep cabin, allowing passengers to arrive rested. The armchair with desk adjacent to the sofa creates a private working and sleeping area at the rear of the aircraft separate from the forward and central zones.
