Range & mission suitability

Where it takes you

Intercontinental trips with a stop, or long non-stop flights for the longer-range models, with room for 10 to 14 passengers in comfort.

What matters when choosing

  • Cabin cross-section and layout versus pure range.
  • Out-of-production types (G450, Falcon 7X, 900LX) versus current models.
  • Maintenance planning, as large-cabin inspections are major events.
Ownership & operating costs

What drives the cost

  • Fuel and maintenance per flight hour, including three-engine Falcons
  • Two pilots and cabin crew
  • Heavy inspections and cabin refurbishment
  • Hangar, insurance, training and management fees
