Falcon 900LX
Heavy Jet - 12 passengers, 4,750 nm published range
About the Falcon 900LX
The Falcon 900LX is Dassault's current-production trijet in the mid/long-range segment, offering roughly 4,750 nm of range with the redundancy and short-field, hot-and-high capability of a three-engine design. It's the newest and most refined member of the four-decade Falcon 900 lineage.
Who charters it
Charter clients pick the 900LX for transcontinental and transatlantic trips who want trijet engine-out redundancy and access to shorter or high-elevation runways (mountain destinations like Aspen or Telluride) that twinjets in its range class can struggle to serve.
Mission fit: the Falcon 900LX at a glance
Best for
- Long nonstop legs: about 3,600 nm with four aboard, after reserves and headwind
- Groups of up to 12 in typical seating
- A stand-up cabin for working or resting on the way
Think twice if
- Short hops under two hours, where a smaller jet usually costs far less
Mountain airports
Capable. Routine into Eagle. Aspen and Telluride depend on weight, weather and the operator's own approval for the field.
Computed from specifications current as of 2026-09-28. Range lines start from the 4,750 nm four-passenger figure, hold back a reserve and fly into a 50 kt headwind. Winds, weight and the operator's own performance numbers decide any given day. Check your route in the Range Explorer.

Specifications current as of 2026-09-28. Published range assumes still air, an optimum profile, and a light payload. Rates are indicative and vary with routing, availability, and operator.
Worth knowing
- Trijet redundancy for oceanic and remote-airport operations
- Blended winglets for improved range and short-field performance
- EASy flight deck (Honeywell Primus Epic)
- Access to short and high-elevation runways many long-range twinjets can't use
- Three-zone cabin layout options
Colorado mountain airports: capable
The strongest short-field and high-elevation performer of the whole heavy group: 70 ft wingspan, a short landing distance around 2,415 ft, and a slow roughly 111 kt approach speed give it a long-standing reputation as a genuinely Aspen-capable large-cabin trijet, with the third engine adding go-around margin at altitude. Routine at ASE and EGE with normal seasonal caveats; Telluride's runway and elevation still keep it out for regular service.
Planning guidance only. The operator, the AFM performance data, and conditions on the day are the final authority.
