Why does the Falcon 8X have three engines?

The tri-engine design provides additional safety redundancy, steep-approach capability for airports like London City, and better hot-and-high performance. It also enables the Falcon 8X to access airports that twin-engine jets of similar size cannot.

What is the range of the Falcon 8X?

The Falcon 8X has a range of 6,450 nautical miles, enabling nonstop flights from Paris to Tokyo, London to Cape Town, or New York to Istanbul.

How much does it cost to charter a Falcon 8X?

Charter rates for the Falcon 8X typically range from €10,000 to €14,000 per flight hour, depending on positioning, operator, and seasonal demand.

How many passengers can the Falcon 8X carry?

The Falcon 8X accommodates up to 14 passengers across three distinct cabin zones, with typical executive configurations seating 12 passengers.

Overview

The Dassault Falcon 8X is the definitive expression of the Falcon trijet philosophy: a stretched, extended-range evolution of the 7X that adds 5 feet of cabin length, 500 nautical miles of additional range, and the upgraded EASy III avionics suite. With a 6,450 nautical mile range and the ability to access over 400 airports unreachable by competing ultra-long-range twins, the 8X addresses the widest possible range of mission profiles from a single platform.

The 8X's 43-foot cabin can be configured with up to four distinct zones, a dedicated crew rest area, and is renowned for its exceptionally low cabin noise levels. Dassault's approach to cabin pressurisation delivers a 3,930-foot cabin altitude at maximum cruise — a meaningful improvement in passenger arrival condition on ultra-long flights.

For buyers, the 8X is the pre-owned trijet of choice for those who require maximum range combined with access to short or challenging airfields. Sellers of 8X assets benefit from a buyer pool that is highly motivated — the 8X's combination of capabilities is simply not replicated by any other production aircraft.

Who buys this aircraft: UHNW principals and operators requiring the maximum combination of range, airfield access, and cabin comfort.
