Charter a Falcon 2000: 7,400 km Range, Short Runways

The Falcon 2000 in figures

Manufacturer figures, which vary with configuration and conditions on the day. Our Falcon 2000EX/LX fleet page details the versions found on the charter market.

What short-field performance changes in practice

Aerodynamics inherited from Dassault's fighter lineage give the 2000 unusually low approach speeds for its size. The result: airfields closed to other jets in its class stay open to it. The S and LXS are the first of the family certified for the steep approach into London City, at the doorstep of the financial district, and the type is a regular on demanding Alpine-access runways such as Chambéry or Sion.

For you, that converts into road minutes saved: landing close to the meeting rather than at the big airport an hour away.

A wide cabin over transcontinental legs

The cabin cross-section comes from the Falcon trijets: full standing height, room for two proper lounges, and eight to ten passengers travelling without compromise. With 7,400 km (4,600 miles), Paris reaches Dubai, Geneva connects to Riyadh, and Nice touches New York with one short stop. This is the heart of the heavy jet segment: enough legs for international work without stepping up to ultra long range.

Where it sits, and against whom

On the charter market the Falcon 2000 meets two direct rivals: the Challenger 650, wider in cabin but less at ease on short strips, and the Legacy 650, roomier but heavier to operate. The Falcon keeps runway versatility and restrained fuel burn for the class. Our Falcon 900LX vs Legacy 650 comparison covers the step above, among the trijets.

Three missions where it excels

The loaded Friday to the Riviera: eight passengers, summer luggage, arrival at a saturated medium-haul field; its approach performance wins slots others must decline. The Gulf in one hop: Paris or Geneva to Dubai, Riyadh or Jeddah nonstop, in a wide cabin, without stepping up to pricier ultra long range. The dense European tour: four stops in two days, tight platforms included, with one aircraft and one crew; exactly the profile of the financial roadshows we arrange.

Availability and charter pricing

The European fleet is deep, with regular bases at Paris-Le Bourget, Geneva and London. As a guide, expect from around 5,500 € per flight hour depending on version, routing and notice; category detail sits in our private jet charter prices. On busy corridors, repositioning flights appear regularly: ask us about current empty legs.
