Price

How much does a Falcon 2000 cost?

A new Falcon 2000 listed at about $35.1 million in 2024. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

Charter or own?

Owning a Falcon 2000 costs about $719,000 a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about $3,100 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Safety

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 Swiss investigators pointed to the Hunter's high speed, late traffic information and an unpublished departure route.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.

How much does a Dassault Falcon 2000LXS cost?+

The list price was $35.1 million in 2024, according to GlobalAir. Pre-owned aircraft are valued at about $14.8 million to $35 million by build year, according to CRAFT in October 2026. Operating cost is about $5,002 per flight hour at 375 hours a year, according to GlobalAir.

How many passengers does a Falcon 2000LXS seat?+

Usually 8 to 10, with a maximum of 10. Most cabins have a four-seat club forward and a four-seat conference group behind it, sometimes with a two-seat club opposite.

About 4,000 nm with 8 passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. That covers New York to Berlin or Dubai to London City non-stop.

What is the difference between the Falcon 2000LXS, 2000LX and 2000EX?+

The 2000EX of 2003 brought PW308C engines and about 3,878 nm of range. The 2000LX of 2009 added blended winglets and 4,000 nm of range. The 2000LXS keeps that range and adds inboard slats for shorter runways, plus the EASy II flight deck and FalconCabin HD+ as standard.

There is no separate bedroom, but on some aircraft the seats make up into beds. One charter operator lists four beds on its 2000LXS. The cabin is 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall, so most adults can stand.
