Dassault Falcon private jet charter

Dassault builds two things: the Rafale fighter jet, in active service with six air forces, and the Falcon business jet range. That combination is unusual — most business jet manufacturers have no military aircraft programme at all, and the engineering transfer from a frontline combat aircraft isn't cosmetic. The Falcon's Digital Flight Control System comes out of Rafale development work directly, which is a different thing from marketing copy about aerospace heritage. Across roughly a century of operation, Dassault has delivered over 10,000 military and civil aircraft including around 2,700 Falcons across more than 90 countries. In 2025 the company delivered 37 Falcons — up from 31 the year before — and unveiled the 10X in March 2026, the largest cabin design in the company's history, with certification planned for 2027.

Dassault Falcon family - models available for charter

The current Falcon range covers four active production models from midsize through ultra-long-range. All carry the Digital Flight Control System derived from the Rafale programme — active fly-by-wire that continuously corrects flight path rather than the conventional pilot-input-only systems most competing jets use. All active Falcons are certified for 50% sustainable aviation fuel blends; the 8X was the first business jet to receive EASA CO2 certification, with the 6X and 2000LXS following. The 10X, due in 2027, will introduce the first all-composite wing in Dassault's business jet history.

Midsize - 2000LXS - from £4,500/hr

Close to 700 aircraft in the Falcon 2000 series have been delivered since launch — Dassault's most commercially successful line. The 2000LXS seats up to ten passengers, covers 4,000 nm at Mach 0.80 and has a widebody fuselage cross-section of 2.34 m — noticeably wider than most competing midsize jets. Low-speed performance is good enough for runways under 1,400 m, which opens up a reasonable number of regional airfields. The Falcon 900LX (trijet, 4,750 nm, up to 14 passengers) is also available on request if the mission profile needs three engines or more range. List price for the 2000LXS runs around $36 million new; charter rates from £4,500/hr.

Large-Cabin - Falcon 6X - from £8,500/hr

The 6X has the widest cabin cross-section of any purpose-built business jet currently in service at 2.58 m, with a standing height of 1.98 m — both figures exceed the Gulfstream G700 (2.41 m) and the Bombardier Global 8000 (2.44 m), for what that's worth in day-to-day use. The programme started as the Falcon 5X in 2013, was relaunched with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engines in 2017, made its first flight in March 2021 and entered service on 30 November 2023. Global Jet added a 6X to its European charter fleet in July 2025, which is a useful marker of where availability is heading. Specifications: 5,500 nm range, Mach 0.90 cruise, up to fourteen passengers, 30 large windows, the Zenith Skylight above the galley (the first overhead skylight ever fitted to a business jet), Ka-band Wi-Fi, advanced air filtration, three iPads integrated for cabin control. Short-field performance covers airports that most comparable large-cabin aircraft can't use. Rates from £8,500/hr. Charter a Falcon 6X.

Ultra-Long-Range - Falcon 8X - from £11,000/hr

The 8X entered service on 5 October 2016 as an extended-range development of the 7X — additional fuel capacity, aerodynamic refinements and optimised engines combine for 6,450 nm, which is enough to fly Hong Kong to London City without stopping. Three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D engines give it the trijet configuration that Dassault has used on long-range Falcons since the 50 in 1976: no ETOPS restriction, single-engine-out safety margins above twin-engine requirements, and the ability to maintain ground power with one engine running and two shut down. The 8X was the first business jet anywhere to receive EASA CO2 certification, which matters more or less depending on the client's sustainability requirements. The Innovative Cabin System runs across a three-zone interior. Rates from £11,000/hr.

Future Flagship - 10X - certification planned 2027

Dassault unveiled the 10X at Bordeaux-Mérignac on 10 March 2026 in front of more than 400 customers and aviation people. The figures are large: 2.77 m wide, 2.03 m high, 16.4 m long, four zones, 50% larger windows than the 8X, a 3,000 ft cabin altitude at 41,000 ft. The all-composite wing is the first Dassault has put on a business jet and enables the 7,500 nm range at Mach 0.925. Two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines at 18,000+ lbf each. Steep approach certification for London City is planned. Deliveries are expected from 2027 — at which point it will go up against the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G800 at the top of the ultra-long-range market, though how that competition resolves is some way off.

Why Dassault Falcon tends to stand apart in business aviation

• The Rafale connection is real engineering, not a heritage story. Dassault designs and supports a frontline fighter jet currently in service with six air forces, and the Falcon's fly-by-wire flight control system came out of that programme — not from a civilian analogue. Active DFCS that continuously corrects flight path and reduces pilot workload is, in practice, a different experience in turbulence than conventional systems. No other business jet manufacturer has a comparable active fighter programme feeding into its product line, though whether that matters in the cabin depends on how much the flying itself is part of the brief;
• The 6X cabin dimensions are the widest and tallest of any purpose-built business jet currently flying. 2.58 m wide, 1.98 m high — that's ahead of the G700 at 2.41 m and the Global 8000 at 2.44 m. The Zenith Skylight above the galley is a genuine first in business aviation. Range of 5,500 nm covers London to São Paulo and New York to Geneva non-stop. The 10X will change the cabin size calculus when it arrives in 2027, but until then the 6X holds the record;
• Three engines on the 8X and 900LX. The trijet configuration eliminates ETOPS restrictions, provides engine-out safety margins above twin-engine requirements, and allows ground operations on a single engine. Dassault has been building trijets for long-range missions since the Falcon 50 in 1976 — the 8X represents about fifty years of that philosophy. For clients on overwater routes where the extra redundancy genuinely matters, it's a meaningful difference. For clients on short European sectors, it mostly doesn't come up;
• SAF certification and EASA CO2 across the active fleet. All current Falcon models are certified for 50% SAF blends. The 8X was the first business jet to earn EASA CO2 certification; the 6X and 2000LXS followed. The 10X is being designed to meet international energy efficiency standards from the outset. How much any of this moves the needle for a given charter client varies — but for corporate clients operating under formal sustainability mandates, Dassault's documented certification trail is among the more comprehensive available;
• 37 deliveries in 2025, built at the same facility as the Rafale. At roughly 37 aircraft per year across four active models, Falcon production volumes are a fraction of Cessna Citation's — approximately one-fifth by annual delivery count. Every Falcon is built at Bordeaux-Mérignac alongside the Rafale. Whether that exclusivity and shared production environment matter to a given client is a personal question, but it's a factual distinction that most manufacturers can't claim.

Dassault Aviation history

Marcel Dassault founded what would become Dassault Aviation in 1929, building on the Nieuport-Delage company. The Mystère IV in 1952 and the Mirage III in 1956 established the company as a serious military aircraft manufacturer. The business jet chapter opened with the Falcon 20, developed with Pan American Business Jets, which flew for the first time on 4 May 1963 — over 500 were eventually delivered. The Falcon 50 in 1976 introduced the trijet configuration for transatlantic range, a philosophy Dassault returned to with the 900 series and 8X. The 2000 series launched in 1993; the 7X in 2005 introduced fly-by-wire to civilian aircraft for the first time. The 8X followed in 2016 with 6,450 nm range. The 6X entered service in November 2023 with the widest purpose-built business jet cabin then available. The 10X was unveiled in March 2026 and is due for certification in 2027.

Frequently asked questions - Dassault Falcon charter UK

Which Dassault Falcon should I charter?
Group size and range will narrow it down. For up to ten passengers on European and medium-range transatlantic sectors within 4,000 nm, the 2000LXS from £4,500/hr. For twelve to fourteen on longer missions including London to New York or London to Dubai, the 6X from £8,500/hr — currently the widest and tallest purpose-built cabin in service. For ultra-long sectors to 6,450 nm where three-engine redundancy matters to the brief — London to Singapore, Hong Kong to London City — the 8X from £11,000/hr. The 10X is due from 2027 and will push those numbers further.

What makes the Falcon 6X cabin unique?
The 6X has the widest (2.58 m) and tallest (1.98 m) cabin cross-section of any purpose-built business jet currently in service — ahead of the Gulfstream G700 at 2.41 m and the Bombardier Global 8000 at 2.44 m. The Zenith Skylight above the galley is the first overhead skylight ever fitted to a business jet. Thirty large windows and 5,500 nm range. The 10X will surpass it on cabin dimensions when it enters service in 2027, but the 6X currently holds the record for purpose-built jets.

What is the Falcon 10X and when will it be available for charter?
The 10X was unveiled at Bordeaux-Mérignac on 10 March 2026 to an audience of 400-plus customers. Specifications at time of unveiling: 2.77 m wide, 2.03 m high, 16.4 m long, four zones, 7,500 nm range, Mach 0.925, 3,000 ft cabin altitude at 41,000 ft, first all-composite wing on a Dassault business jet. Two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines. Deliveries are scheduled from 2027 — these figures are based on manufacturer specifications at unveiling and may be revised before certification. Contact Private Jets UK for notification when charter availability begins.

Why does Dassault use three engines on the Falcon 8X and 900LX?
The trijet configuration on the 8X and 900LX removes ETOPS restrictions, gives single-engine-out safety margins above twin-engine FAR Part 25 requirements, and allows ground power and taxiing on a single engine with the other two shut down. Dassault has been using trijets for long-range missions since the Falcon 50 in 1976 — the 8X is essentially fifty years of that same reasoning applied to a modern airframe. Whether the extra engine redundancy matters depends on the route: on overwater long-haul it's a real operational consideration; on a London to Geneva hop it's largely irrelevant.

How many Dassault Falcons have been delivered?
Around 2,700 Falcons across more than 90 countries, according to Dassault. In 2025 the company delivered 37 aircraft, up from 31 in 2024. At roughly 37 per year across four active models, the Falcon is produced in significantly smaller volumes than most competing business jet lines — approximately one-fifth of Cessna Citation's annual output. All production runs through Bordeaux-Mérignac.
