The Falcon 900LX is the long-range variant of Dassault's proven 900 series, combining trijet reliability with 4,750 nm of intercontinental range. Its three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines provide short-field capability and steep-approach performance, opening up airports like London City, Lugano, and Cannes that most heavy jets cannot reach. The 900LX is renowned for its fuel efficiency and low cabin noise.
Business groups needing heavy-jet range with access to smaller airports, corporate travellers based in the City of London who want London City departures, and families heading to Mediterranean or Middle Eastern destinations. The Falcon 900LX is the practical heavy jet for operators who value versatility.
At £5,000–£6,800 per hour, the Falcon 900LX is one of the most accessible heavy jets on the charter market. A London to Nice flight costs approximately £11,000–£15,000 with a heavy-jet cabin. The ability to depart from London City rather than Luton saves 60–90 minutes of ground transfer time, adding significant real-world value.
How much does it cost to charter a Falcon 900LX?
Typical hourly charter rates range from £5,000 to £6,800. A London to Dubai flight (7 hours) costs approximately £36,000–£48,000.
How many passengers does a Falcon 900LX carry?
Up to 12 passengers in a typical charter configuration with two cabin zones. The trijet layout keeps the cabin quiet, as the centre engine is mounted above the rear fuselage.
Can the Falcon 900LX land at London City Airport?
Yes. Like all Dassault Falcon trijets, the 900LX is approved for London City's steep 5.5-degree approach. This gives it a significant advantage over twin-engine competitors that cannot access LCY.
