Aircraft Falcon 2000LXS

The 2000LXS is a large Dassault jet, produced since 2014. It seats ten, has a range of 7,410 km, and a cruising speed of 882 km/h (550 mph). It is powered by PW308C engines. Its signature feature is its fighter-style wing mechanization: it can land on runways as short as 1,400 m (4,300 ft), where competitors of this size cannot, while using 15% less fuel than its classmates. Courchevel and London City are among the family's approved destinations. The cabin includes a flight attendant and hot meals. The baggage compartment is accessible in flight. Typical routes include Moscow-Goa, Almaty-Zurich, and Tashkent-Paris. Send us a request – we will prepare a proposal, calculate the content, and analyze options tailored to your needs.

Falcon 2000LXS benchmarks: average used price is $15 million; new price is $36 million. Maintenance at 300-400 flight hours per year is approximately $2.77 million/year, with $6,918 flight hours per hour. The final price depends on the year, flight hours, engine life, and configuration.

France's Dassault builds Rafale fighters and transfers military technology to the Falcon business jet. Currently in production are the Falcon 2000LXS (large-class, 7,400 km range), the three-engine 900LX, the new 6X with the widest cabin in its class (2.58 m), the flagship 8X (11,900 km), and the upcoming 10X with a range of 13,900 km. More than 2,700 Falcons have been built.

The 900LX and 8X tri-engine configuration is unique to the Dassault. Practical benefits include long-haul ocean route approval without ETOPS restrictions, peace of mind in the event of single-engine failure over mountains or water, and approaches to short, complex runways—the 8X is certified for London City with its steep glide path. Fuel consumption is also lower than many twin-engine competitors, thanks to its lightweight airframe.

The Falcon is aging gracefully: an eight-year-old 2000LXS sells for $18–22 million (new for $37 million), while a 900LX of the same age sells for $23–28 million. Classic 900EXs from the 2000s, at $12–16 million, are considered the best value for a three-engine intercontinental jet. The discount to the similarly sized Gulfstream is explained by the smaller fleet, but the supply of Falcons on the market is also significantly smaller.

The Gulfstream scores with speed and range: the G650ER flies at M0.90 for 13,890 km, while the Falcon 8X flies at M0.85 for 11,945 km. The Falcon scores with fuel economy (the 15–20% consumes less), short-run performance, and fighter-derived digital controls. The 6X/10X cabins are wider than their Gulfstream counterparts. Roughly speaking, the Gulfstream is all about maximum performance, while the Falcon is all about flexibility and efficiency.

Large Class is the standard for corporate travel for top executives on flights of 7-9 hours: Almaty-Paris, Moscow-Singapore, Astana-Tokyo. It offers a range of approximately 7,400 km, a wide cabin (2.4-2.5 m) with separate work, dining, and relaxation areas, and two pilots and a flight attendant as standard. This is the minimum class, allowing long-haul flights for groups of 8-12 people to be carried out without compromise.

The Challenger 650 carries up to 12 passengers and has a range of 7,400 km, while the Falcon 2000LXS carries 8-10 passengers and has a range of 7,410 km with short-runway approval thanks to wing high-lift devices. Cruising speed is 850-870 km/h. The cabin, measuring 2.41-2.49 m wide and 1.83-1.88 m high, allows for ample movement; baggage compartments of 3.2-3.7 m³ are accessible in flight.

The super-midsize class is inferior to the large class in cabin width (2.08–2.19 m versus 2.41+ m) and "representativeness"—this is significant at the level of heads of state and corporations. The ultra-large class (Falcon 900LX, G450, Legacy 650) adds a third cabin area, up to 14 seats, and a range of up to 8,800 km. The large jet is a rational point: maximum comfort before prices climb to $10,000+ rubles per hour.

Four aircraft: the Bombardier Challenger 604/605/650 family—the world's most popular large jet with a 2.49-meter-wide cabin (three generations differ in avionics and trim, the 650 is the most current one), and the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS—an economical French jet with short-runway approval: it lands where competitors of this size don't go, using less fuel than the 15%.

Start with two figures: the typical route length and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 passengers – a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km – a medium jet; nonstop intercontinental flights – a long-haul jet. Add adjustments for short runs, baggage volume, and berths. We'll select a model that matches your profile and calculate the economics of ownership.

A new aircraft comes with a factory warranty and a 1-3 year waiting list, but the price is maximum. A used aircraft offers immediate delivery and a lower price for the 30-60%, but it's important to check the engine life and history. For most buyers, a new aircraft, 3-7 years old, is optimal: the main discount has already been applied, and the aircraft still has a long service life. We consider both options.
