Based in Malta, Malta. From its home base it typically flies legs such as Malta–Rome · Malta–Istanbul · Malta–Beijing. Positioning from the home region is faster and cheaper; departures from another city add a ferry leg.

France's Dassault builds the Rafale fighter and carries military technology into the Falcon business jets. In production today: the Falcon 2000LXS (large class, 7,400 km), the tri-jet 900LX, the new 6X with the widest cabin in class (2.58 m), the flagship 8X (11,900 km) and the 10X, nearing delivery, with 13,900 km. In all, more than 2,700 Falcons have been built. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

The tri-jet layout of the 900LX and 8X is Dassault's signature. The practical benefit: clearance for long ocean routes without ETOPS limits, peace of mind if one engine fails over mountains or water, and approaches to short, demanding runways — the 8X is certified for London City with its steep glideslope. Fuel burn is meanwhile lower than many twin rivals, thanks to a light airframe. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Falcons age gracefully: an eight-year-old 2000LXS sells for $18–22M (new $37M), a 900LX of the same age $23–28M. Classic 2000s 900EX at $12–16M are considered the best price for a tri-jet intercontinental jet. The discount to a same-size Gulfstream reflects a smaller fleet, but Falcon supply on the market is also notably shorter.

Gulfstream leads on speed and range: the G650ER flies M0.90 over 13,890 km, while the Falcon 8X does M0.85 over 11,945 km. The Falcon answers with economy (15–20% less burn), short-field operation and digital control honed on fighters. The 6X/10X cabins are wider than Gulfstream equivalents. Roughly: Gulfstream is about maximum performance, Falcon about flexibility and efficiency. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

This is the class of nonstop intercontinental flights: London–Los Angeles, Geneva–New York, Dubai–Sydney with one stop. A range of 9,600–14,800 km saves 3–5 hours per connection and removes dependence on intermediate countries. Cabins of three or four zones with a bedroom, shower and office turn a 12-hour flight into a full working day or a night's sleep.

Capacity is 12–19 passengers with sleeping berths for 6–10. Range: Global 5500 10,600 km, G550 12,500 km, Falcon 8X 11,950 km, G650ER 13,890 km, Global 7500 14,260 km, G700 14,350 km, Global 8000 14,800 km. Cruise M0.85–0.925; the Global 8000 reaches M0.94 — faster than any production civil aircraft.

From the ultra-large class it is set apart by 3,000–6,000 km more range and modern airframes with low cabin altitude (equivalent to 900–1,200 m at cruise). ACJ/BBJ business liners give two or three times the floor area, but need long runways, cost more to maintain and are slower. The formula: regular nonstop 10+ hours for a small group — this class; a 20+-person residence cabin — a liner.

Rates are $10,000–16,000 per hour: the G550 and Global 5000 near the lower bound, the G650ER, G700 and Global 7500 near the upper. A London–Los Angeles flight comes to $150–220K, Dubai–Tokyo $70–100K. The price includes three or four crew, sleeping-cabin prep and restaurant catering; a crew change on ultra-long legs is built into the estimate in advance.

The standard is 24–48 hours before departure: that is enough to confirm the aircraft, crew and slots. For regular clients we arrange a domestic flight from 4–6 hours. International routes need 48–72 hours: overflight permits for some countries take 3–5 working days. On peak dates — Christmas, summer holidays, major forums — aircraft are booked out 2–3 weeks ahead, so plan early.

An empty leg is the ferry of an empty aircraft to its next job or home to base. Such segments sell at a 30–75% discount to the usual price: a flight that would cost $25K can come to $8–12K. The limits: the date and route are fixed to the aircraft's schedule, and if the main booking is cancelled the flight may shift. We publish current empty legs weekly — watch the listings.
