The wide-cabin Falcon 900 trijet combines unequaled performance and versatility with a design that has remained popular since deliveries began in 1986. With more than 400 units already in service, Dassault Falcon introduced the Falcon 900LX this year with a sticker price of $42.2 million dollars.
Compared with its predecessor, the 900EX, this new model will use less fuel and have an extra 300 nautical miles of range, equaling a grand total of 4,800 nautical miles. Due to the Falcon’s unique three-engine design, no other heavy jet has the same safety margins when departing short runways or traversing protracted stretches of water. While that third engine means the Falcon will need more maintenance than a twinjet, a 900 will burn considerably less fuel than the longer and heavier Gulfstream and get you in and out of runways you wouldn’t dare try on a hot day with a Challenger. Ultimately, pilots praise the Falcon’s brisk climb rate, agility and low-speed handling.
Like most new jets, you can outfit the cabin with many in-flight entertainment and information goodies, including sitcom, high-speed internet and mini-televisions. For your next business jet charter, consider chartering a Falcon 900LX, especially if you expect short runways like the ones in Aspen, Colorado and Toluca, Mexico.
