The Dassault Falcon 900

The trijet that came before the 7X, and the design the Falcon 2000 was shortened from. More than 500 have been delivered since 1986, so the type is easy to find for charter, though the aircraft vary widely with age.

Who it suits

Eight to twelve people on flights of two to nine hours: New York to Paris or Nice, London to Dubai, the East Coast to Aspen for the week. Three lounges let one group dine while another sleeps, in a cabin as wide and tall as the 7X's.

Against its rivals

A Legacy 650 seats up to fourteen and carries twice the luggage, in a cabin 9 in narrower. A Challenger 605 is nearly 8 ft shorter inside. The Falcon 2000LXS is the two-engine version, cheaper and shorter. For London to Los Angeles without a stop, take a Falcon 7X.

Where it falls short

Age. The fleet runs from late-1980s 900s to 900LXs delivered in 2025, and cabins, avionics and Wi-Fi vary with it, so every quote names the year and the last refurbishment. The 127 cu ft hold is small for twelve people's ski bags, and London to the US West Coast takes a stop.

Range as published: 900LX with six passengers and two crew at long-range cruise, NBAA IFR reserves (Dassault). The 900EX flies about 250 nm less; the older 900B is quoted at about 4,000 nm with eight passengers. On the day it depends on passengers and luggage, winds, the airports, temperature and the reserves the operator carries.

Falcon 900B vs 900EX and 900LX

All three share the fuselage, the 33 ft cabin and three Honeywell engines. The 900C replaced the 900B in 1999, and the 900DX of 2005 is a 900EX with less fuel and 4,100 nm of range. Every quote names the version and the year.

Falcon 900 price, new and pre-owned

Age and the flight deck explain most of the spread: 900EXs with the EASy cockpit ask from about $13.5 million, earlier ones from about $9 million. Forecast International put a used 900LX at about 53% of its list price in 2026, against 68% for a Challenger 650.

Inside the Falcon 900 cabin

The cabin is 33 ft 2 in long, 7 ft 8 in wide and 6 ft 2 in high: the cross-section of the 2000LXS and 7X, over a length between the two. Dassault's layout runs from a large galley forward through three lounges, usually a club of four, a second club or dining group and an aft divan, to the lavatory and the baggage hold. The 900LX has the acoustic insulation developed for the 7X and 8X, which Dassault calls the quietest cabin in the 900 series.

Cabin fit varies by aircraft and operator; we send photographs of the actual aircraft with every option.
01

Sleeping

Facing club seats berth into beds and the aft divan makes another, so about three can sleep flat. For a night crossing, six to eight on board is comfortable.

02

Galley

Forward, behind the flight deck, and large for a cabin of this length, so a cabin attendant can serve a proper meal on a long flight.

03

Baggage

127 cu ft at the back of the cabin, reachable in flight. A suitcase and a soft bag each for ten fits; skis or golf bags for a full cabin may not.

Falcon 900 range and performance

Dassault publishes 4,750 nm for the 900LX at long-range cruise with six passengers, two crew and NBAA IFR reserves. Its winglets add about 250 nm over the 900EX, and the older 900B is quoted at about 4,000 nm with eight passengers. With ten or twelve on board and a winter headwind, that covers the North Atlantic, Europe to the Gulf and the Riviera to New York, but not London to the US West Coast in one leg.

Three engines, leading-edge slats and double-slotted flaps give it short-field manners few jets of this range have. Fuelled for 3,000 nm, a 900LX leaves runways under 4,000 ft at sea level; it approaches at 110 knots and flies the steep approaches into London City and Lugano. A high landing weight lets it fly a short hop on full tanks, Washington to New York for example, and then cross the Atlantic without refuelling.

  1. Non-stop London City to Lugano, 1 h 30 Steep approaches at both ends; Dassault names both airports for the 900LX.
  2. Non-stop Dallas to Aspen, 1 h 50 Dassault lists Aspen among the high airports its 110-knot approach opens up.
  3. Non-stop London to Dubai, 7 h About 2,970 nm, well inside the range with every seat taken.
  4. Non-stop Nice to New York, 8 h 45 Westbound from the Riviera; Dassault quotes Cannes to New York for the 900LX.
  5. One fuel stop London to Los Angeles, 12 h 30 About 4,700 nm, past its practical range in one leg; a Falcon 7X usually flies it direct.

Falcon 900 charter cost

A Falcon 900 usually prices between a Falcon 2000LXS and a Falcon 7X, close to a Legacy 650 on the same trip. The spread within the type is wide: a recent 900LX with Ka-band Wi-Fi quotes above a 1990s 900B with its original cabin, and both are on the charter market. A return with the aircraft waiting usually costs well below two one-way flights, and the written quote names the aircraft, its year and its last refurbishment.

As a guide, heavy jets charter at about $9,000 to $13,000 an hour for the aircraft, crew and fuel. Positioning, airport charges, overnight costs and the season are added for the trip, and the quote is one figure in writing.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Falcon 900 cost?

To buy, it depends on the version. Asking prices in October 2026 ran from about $3.7 to $6.9 million for a 900B, about $9 to $19 million for a 900EX (from $13.5 million with the EASy cockpit) and about $19 to $40 million for a 900LX. The last new 900LX cost about $45.5 million equipped (B&CA, 2025). Most of our clients charter instead, which is priced per trip; see the next question.

How much does it cost to charter a Falcon 900?

On our route pages a heavy jet such as the Falcon 900 is from about $68,000 one way for New York to Paris, $75,000 for London to New York, $65,000 for London to Dubai and €22,000 for London to Geneva, for the whole aircraft. A refurbished 900LX quotes above a 900B with its original cabin, and positioning, crew overnights and handling move the figure. We reply with written quotes naming each aircraft. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.

How fast is the Falcon 900?

Its maximum operating speed is Mach 0.87 on every version from the 900B to the 900LX. Dassault gives a typical cruise of Mach 0.80 for the 900LX, and B&CA a high-speed cruise of 474 kn, about 545 mph, at 39,000 ft. New York to Paris takes about seven hours.

What is the difference between the Falcon 900B, 900EX and 900LX?

The 900B, built from 1991 to 1999, has TFE731-5BR engines and about 4,000 nm of range. The 900EX of 1996 brought more powerful TFE731-60 engines and 4,500 nm, and from 2003 the EASy flight deck. The 900LX of 2010 added blended winglets by Aviation Partners, which Dassault says cut drag by up to 7% and add about 250 nm, with EASy II and a quieter cabin. The cabin is the same size in all three, so for most trips a well-kept 900EX does the same job as an LX, often for less.

How many passengers does a Falcon 900 seat?

Ten to twelve in most charter layouts, across three lounges; Dassault quotes room for up to 14 in the 900LX. For a night flight, six to eight is the comfortable number, with flat beds for about three. We send the floor plan of the specific aircraft with each quote.

What is the range of the Falcon 900?

It depends on the version. Dassault publishes 4,750 nm for the 900LX with six passengers, two crew and NBAA IFR reserves; the 900EX flies about 250 nm less and the older 900B about 4,000 nm. In practice a 900LX covers New York to Paris, London to Dubai and Nice to New York without a stop, while London to Los Angeles needs one.

Is the Falcon 900 a three-engine jet like the Falcon 7X?

Yes. The 900 was Dassault's first long-range trijet, developed from the Falcon 50, and the 7X and 8X kept the layout. Dassault argues that three engines help on short and high runways and allow more direct routes over water. The 900 is the smaller of the three: a 33 ft cabin against the 7X's 39 ft, and 4,750 nm against 5,950 nm.

Can a Falcon 900 fly across the Atlantic non-stop?

Yes, on the main North Atlantic routes. New York to London or Paris takes about seven hours, and London to New York about seven and a half against the headwind. An older 900B with every seat taken may plan a fuel stop on a winter westbound crossing; we check the numbers on the specific aircraft before confirming.

Can the Falcon 900 land at London City Airport?

Dassault names London City and Lugano among the steep-approach airports the 900LX serves. London City's runway is short, so departures from there carry less fuel and the longest flights leave from Farnborough or Luton instead; arrivals are not affected. We confirm the approval on the specific aircraft and operator.

Is the Falcon 900 still in production?

Not in practice. Trade reports in 2026 say no new 900LX has been delivered since mid-2025, and Dassault's fleet overview no longer shows it. More than 500 Falcon 900s of all versions were built from 1986, so the charter fleet is large and mixed: late-1980s 900s and 900Bs, 900EXs from 1996 and 900LXs from 2010. We name the year and last refurbishment of every aircraft we propose.
