Super-midsize jets, per flight hour
What moves the price
- Positioning: one-way trips usually pay for the empty flight home.
- Crew overnights and waiting days on multi-day trips.
- Airport and handling fees, plus any VAT and airport fees.
- Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.
Charter or own?
Owning a Falcon 2000 costs about SAR 2.7 million a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about SAR 11,600 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Falcon 2000 safety record
Events from official investigations and safety databases. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.
August 2015
A Falcon 2000 (N187AA) rolled on the ramp at Las Vegas after its chocks were removed and hit a parked Falcon 20 and a King Air. No one was hurt. The NTSB found the crew used the wrong checklist for a parking brake pressure warning, and a faulty check valve contributed.
June 2012
A Falcon 2000 (OM-OPF) climbing out of Buochs, Switzerland, passed 0.9 nm and 400 ft from a fast Hawker Hunter flying under visual rules. The Falcon crew followed a TCAS advisory. Swiss investigators pointed to the Hunter's high speed, late traffic information and an unpublished departure route.
April 2011
A Falcon 2000 (OM-OPF) rejected its takeoff at Moscow Vnukovo at about 30 to 40 knots after a configuration warning. The tail trim was set wrong. Slovak investigators found it was likely moved by accident while taxiing and missed in the checklist. No one was hurt.
1995 to 2026
