Overview

What is the Dassault Falcon 7X?

The Dassault Falcon 7X is a three-engine heavy business jet that seats 12 to 16 passengers in three cabin zones and flies about 5,950 nm non-stop. It was the first business jet with fly-by-wire flight controls, and it is approved for steep approaches into airports such as London City and Lugano.

Three cabin zones: a forward club of four, a conference group of four, and an aft lounge whose two divans make up into beds.

Stand-up cabin 6 ft 2 in tall, 7 ft 8 in wide and 39 ft 1 in long, with 28 windows and a baggage hold you can reach in flight.

Three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines and fly-by-wire controls, a first for a business jet when it entered service in June 2007.

Approved for steep approaches of up to 6 degrees, which opens London City and Lugano to a long-range jet.

32 fly with 9 operators on the FAA Part 135 list, the largest Falcon 7X charter fleet anywhere. Altivo Jets books them through these certified operators.

Price

How much does a Falcon 7X cost?

A new Falcon 7X listed at about $54 million in 2017. Production has ended, so most buyers look at pre-owned aircraft. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

What moves the price

Charter or own?

Owning a Falcon 7X costs about $3.63 million a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about $7,500 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

A long-range jet that still fits demanding airports.

Runway needed

About 5,710 ft to take off at maximum weight at sea level, and about 2,070 ft to land at typical landing weight. Hot or high airports need more.

Steep approaches

Approved in August 2009 for approaches of up to 6 degrees, twice the usual angle, which opens London City and Lugano to a long-range jet.

Events from official investigations. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.

May 2011

An uncommanded pitch-up during descent near Subang, Malaysia (HB-JFN). EASA grounded the fleet, Dassault released a fix in June 2011, and the BEA final report of 2016 traced it to a soldering defect in a stabiliser control unit.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still deciding? A charter specialist will talk you through aircraft, airports and price, with no obligation.

Ask a specialist
How much does a Falcon 7X cost?+

A new Falcon 7X listed at about $54 million in 2017. Production ended in 2023, so buyers now look at pre-owned aircraft, priced at about $14.5 million to $23.5 million.

How many passengers does a Falcon 7X seat?+

Most charter aircraft seat 12 to 16 in three zones, typically 14. The type is certified for up to 19.

How far can a Falcon 7X fly?+

About 5,950 nm (11,019 km) at Mach 0.80 with 8 passengers and reserves: enough for Mumbai to London or Paris to Los Angeles non-stop.

Does the Falcon 7X have a bedroom?+

The aft lounge works as the bedroom: its two divans make up into beds, and up to six passengers can sleep on a night flight.

Is Falcon better than Gulfstream?+

It depends on the trip. Against the Gulfstream G650, the Falcon 7X has a narrower cabin (7 ft 8 in against 8 ft 6 in) and about 1,050 nm less range, but it is approved for steep approaches into airports such as London City, and pre-owned aircraft cost far less ($14.5 to $23.5 million against $43 to $53 million). Within its range it is often the better value.

Can the Falcon 7X land at London City Airport?+

Yes. It was approved in 2009 for steep approaches of up to 6 degrees, which London City and Lugano require.

How fast is the Falcon 7X?+

Top speed is Mach 0.90. It cruises at about 492 knots when time matters and at Mach 0.80 (459 knots) on long flights.

Who operates the Dassault Falcon 7X in the US?+

9 FAA Part 135 operators fly 32 of them. The largest fleets: Solairus Aviation (11), Executive Jet Management (9), Jet Aviation Flight Services (4), Presidential Aviation (2) and Short Hills Aviation (2).

How much does it cost to charter a Falcon 7X?+

About $15.1k to $18.5k per flight hour, before federal excise tax, positioning and airport charges. A one-way trip is priced on flight hours plus the aircraft's return positioning, so ask for a quote on your dates.
