The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultra-long-range heavy jet manufactured by Dassault Aviation, widely regarded as one of the most refined and capable aircraft in private aviation. Built on the acclaimed Falcon 7X platform and substantially enhanced, a Dassault Falcon 8X charter delivers exceptional intercontinental range combined with an unmatched cabin environment for discerning travellers.
Aircraft Overview
The Falcon 7X entered service in 2007, becoming the first business jet designed entirely using digital fly-by-wire technology — a system previously reserved for commercial airliners. Dassault Aviation enhanced and extended the platform to produce the Falcon 8X, which entered service in 2016 with a longer fuselage, greater fuel capacity, and an extended range that opened new non-stop city pairs. The 8X holds the distinction of being one of the longest-range trijet business jets in the world, capable of connecting destinations such as New York to Dubai or Los Angeles to London without a fuel stop. Its fly-by-wire system delivers exceptional handling precision and efficiency across all phases of flight.
