Charter of a Dassault Falcon 900 starts at $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. Dassault certified the Falcon 900 in 1986 as the large-cabin successor to the Falcon 50. It carries up to 16 passengers in a 33.5-foot cabin across a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 480 knots. Three Garrett TFE731-5AR-1C engines produce 4,500 lbf each. The 51,000-foot ceiling exceeds virtually all commercial traffic. Hogani Jets coordinates each Falcon 900 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

The Falcon 900 was Dassault's first heavy jet. It extended the Falcon 50's trijet formula into a significantly larger airframe. Nearly ten feet of cabin length was added, along with the range to cross the Atlantic nonstop.

The first prototype flew on September 21, 1984. French and US certification followed in 1986. Over 500 Falcon 900-series aircraft have been built across all variants. It is one of the most successful heavy trijet programs in business aviation history.

Dassault produced the Falcon 900 from 1986 through 2002. The Falcon 900B, a revised variant with uprated engines (TFE731-5BR-1C at 4,750 lbf each), entered production in 1991. The specifications below apply to the original Falcon 900.

The Dassault Falcon 900 is a heavy trijet certified by the FAA in 1986. It carries up to 16 passengers across a 4,000-nautical-mile range at 480 knots. Three Garrett TFE731-5AR-1C engines produce 4,500 lbf each. Maximum takeoff weight is 45,500 lbs and service ceiling is 51,000 feet. The aircraft was developed directly from the Dassault Falcon 50.

The Falcon 900 shares its design DNA with the Falcon 50. Both use a trijet configuration with rear-mounted engines. Both use a supercritical wing. The Falcon 900 is what Dassault built when they asked what a larger Falcon 50 could do.

The cabin grew from 23.5 feet (Falcon 50) to 33.5 feet. Passenger capacity increased from 10 to 16. Range held at approximately 4,000 nm with the upgraded Garrett engines.

The Falcon 900 also became the platform that led to the Falcon 2000 and Falcon 7X. The 900 series was the bridge between the Falcon 50 and Dassault's later large-cabin flagship aircraft. Its trijet formula was refined in each successor variant through the 900LX.

The Dassault Falcon 900 first flew on September 21, 1984. French and US certification came in 1986. Over 500 Falcon 900-series aircraft across all variants have been built. The original variant was powered by three Garrett TFE731-5AR-1C engines producing 4,500 lbf each. The Falcon 900 was developed directly from the Dassault Falcon 50.

A certified flight attendant is standard on every Falcon 900 charter. The cabin is large enough to require a certified attendant. Separate lounge zones and a full galley support in-flight meal service on longer transatlantic segments.

The Falcon 900EX replaced the original in 1996. The cabin and airframe are the same. The engines, avionics, and range changed.

For charter passengers, both aircraft deliver the same 33.5-foot cabin. The 900EX adds 500 nm of range and a quieter (63 vs 65 dBa) interior. Its FADEC-controlled Honeywell engines reduce pilot workload. Both aircraft charter at the same $5,500-8,000 hourly rate.

The Falcon 900 family evolved across seven production variants:

  • Falcon 900: Original production, 1986-2002. Three Garrett TFE731-5AR-1C at 4,500 lbf each. Range 4,000 nm.
  • Falcon 900B: Revised from 1991. Uprated TFE731-5BR-1C engines at 4,750 lbf each. Extended range.
  • Falcon 900C: Replaced the 900B from 2000. Same engine family with EX-era cabin refinements.
  • Falcon 900EX: Introduced 1996. Honeywell TFE731-60 engines at 5,000 lbf each. Range 4,500 nm.
  • Falcon 900EX EASy: Produced 2003-2011. Same airframe as EX with Honeywell Primus Epic EASy avionics.
  • Falcon 900DX: Shorter-range variant with TFE731-60 engines. Range 4,000 nm.
  • Falcon 900LX: Current production. High-Mach blended winglets from Aviation Partners Inc. Range 4,750 nm.

The Falcon 900 seats up to 16 passengers in a 33.5-foot cabin. Standard charter configurations run 8 to 12 in a double-club and divan arrangement.

  • Three separate lounge areas: a forward zone for work, a center dining and conference area, and an aft rest zone.
  • A full-size galley supports hot meal preparation; oven, coffee maker, and beverage dispenser are standard.
  • Full stand-up headroom at 6.2 feet throughout all 33.5 feet of cabin.
  • Cabin width at 7.7 feet allows comfortable three-across seating at the dining table.
  • A full vanity aft lavatory with walk-in baggage access is standard.
  • A certified flight attendant is included on all Falcon 900 charters at Hogani Jets.

The Falcon 900 cabin is 33.5 feet long, 7.7 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 6,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. The 9.3 psi maximum differential maintains a sea-level cabin to approximately 25,300 feet. The aircraft seats up to 16 passengers with 139 cubic feet of pressurized baggage capacity.

For large executive groups needing transatlantic capability at the heavy jet rate, the Falcon 900 delivers three separate cabin zones and a certified flight attendant. The 900EX adds range and quieter engines at the same rate tier.

The 4,000-nautical-mile range puts New York to London (3,462 nm) and New York to Paris (3,625 nm) comfortably within nonstop reach.

Every Falcon 900 charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

The Falcon 900 carries Collins avionics with Honeywell/Sperry WR-800 flight management systems. Three independent engine and fuel systems provide redundancy unusual in the heavy jet category. A certified flight attendant is included on all Hogani Jets Falcon 900 charters.

How much does it cost to charter a Falcon 900?

Falcon 900 charter rates typically run $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. New York to London one-way runs approximately $75,750 to $95,000. Final cost depends on route, operator, positioning, and season.

Why does the Falcon 900 have three engines?

The Falcon 900 inherits the trijet configuration from the Falcon 50. Three engines provide more thrust for heavy payloads and more redundancy than twin-engine alternatives. The trijet layout also exempts the aircraft from ETOPS requirements on transoceanic routes.

How many passengers can the Falcon 900 carry?

The Falcon 900 seats up to 16 passengers. Standard charter configurations run 8 to 12 in a double-club and divan layout. High-density configurations accommodate up to 19.

What is the real range of a Falcon 900?

Published range is 4,000 nautical miles. Realistic range with a full cabin runs somewhat lower depending on routing and reserves. New York to London (3,462 nm) and New York to Paris (3,625 nm) are comfortably within range.

What are the Falcon 900 variants?

The Falcon 900 family includes seven production variants: the original 900, the 900B, 900C, 900EX, 900EX EASy, 900DX, and the current-production 900LX with blended winglets. All share the same 33.5-foot cabin cross-section.

How does the Falcon 900 differ from the Falcon 900EX?

The 900EX replaces the original's Garrett TFE731-5AR-1C engines with Honeywell TFE731-60 units at 5,000 lbf. Range extends from 4,000 nm to 4,500 nm. Avionics upgrade to Honeywell Primus 2000 from the original Collins suite. Cabin dimensions are identical on both variants.

Are empty leg flights available on the Falcon 900?

Yes. The aircraft's long-range positioning creates empty-leg opportunities on transatlantic and transcontinental routes. Availability is short-notice and date-fixed; Hogani Jets recommends flexibility when pursuing empty-leg pricing.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All Falcon 900 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers holding full operational and regulatory control.
