Charter of a Dassault Falcon 900EX starts at $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. Dassault introduced the Falcon 900EX in 1996 with three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines at 5,000 lbf each. It carries up to 16 passengers across a 4,500-nautical-mile range at 475 knots. The 33.5-foot cabin is identical to the original Falcon 900. Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics replaced the original Collins suite. Hogani Jets coordinates each Falcon 900EX charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

The Falcon 900EX keeps the original Falcon 900's 33.5-foot three-zone cabin intact. What changed is everything behind the cabin: new engines, new avionics, and 500 more nautical miles of range. That additional range pushed New York to London from the edge of the envelope to a comfortable sector.

The Falcon 900EX climbs to 37,000 feet in 18 minutes. At its 51,000-foot certified ceiling, it operates above virtually all commercial traffic and weather. Dassault produced the 900EX from 1996 through 2003, when the EASy variant took over.

Dassault introduced the Falcon 900EX in 1996 as a significant upgrade of the Falcon 900. The same 33.5-foot cabin retained three separate lounge zones, a full galley, and a stand-up lavatory. New Honeywell TFE731-60 engines and Primus 2000 avionics defined the variant.

The Dassault Falcon 900EX is a heavy trijet produced from 1996 to 2003. It carries up to 16 passengers across a 4,500-nautical-mile range at 475 knots. Three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines produce 5,000 lbf each. Maximum takeoff weight is 48,300 lbs and service ceiling is 51,000 feet. Avionics are Honeywell Primus 2000 IAS.

Ten years after the Falcon 900 entered service, Dassault upgraded the platform. The cabin stayed the same. Three things changed.

Engines moved from Garrett TFE731-5AR-1C (4,500 lbf each) to Honeywell TFE731-60 (5,000 lbf each). Each engine produces 500 lbf more thrust than its predecessor. The additional thrust extends range by 500 nm and improves performance at high-elevation airports.

The improved runway performance of the Falcon 900EX at high elevations and temperatures is significant. The Falcon 900's runway requirement increases by 52 percent at high elevations and temperatures. The Falcon 900EX's runway requirement increases by only 38 percent under the same conditions.

Avionics moved to Honeywell Primus 2000. The Primus 2000 Integrated Avionics System uses three subsystems in two IC-800 Integrated Avionics Computers. It integrates the ADZ-840 air data system, AA-300 radio altimeter, Primus II radio, and Primus 870 weather radar.

The Falcon 900EX's maximum cabin pressure differential is 9.3 psi, maintaining a sea-level cabin altitude at 25,300 feet. The aircraft climbs to 37,000 feet in 18 minutes from sea level on a standard day.

The Falcon 900EX and Falcon 900 share the same airframe, cabin, and fuselage dimensions. The differences are the engines, avionics, and the resulting range extension.

At the same $5,500-8,000 rate tier, the 900EX's 500 nm of additional range makes it the preferred choice for any mission that requires confidence on long transatlantic or transcontinental sectors. The original Falcon 900 is a strong value when it is the aircraft available at that rate.

The Falcon 900EX seats up to 16 passengers. Standard charter configurations run 8 to 12.

  • Three separate lounge zones: a forward work zone, 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.
  • Two seats can be reclined and combined to form a full-length bed.
  • Cabin width at 7.7 feet allows comfortable dining-table seating across the full cabin width.
  • A full-size aft vanity lavatory with walk-in baggage compartment access is standard.
  • A certified flight attendant is included on all Falcon 900EX charters at Hogani Jets.

The Falcon 900EX cabin is 33.5 feet long, 7.7 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 5,800-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. The 9.3 psi maximum differential maintains a sea-level cabin to approximately 25,300 feet. The pressurized and air-conditioned aft baggage compartment holds 139 cubic feet and is accessible in flight.

For groups needing the Falcon 900 platform with extended range and modern avionics, the 900EX delivers the same three-zone cabin at 4,500 nm. The Primus 2000 IAS is a meaningful upgrade over the original Collins suite for pilots operating long international routes.

The 4,500-nautical-mile range puts New York to London (3,462 nm), New York to Paris (3,625 nm), and New York to Zurich (3,920 nm) comfortably within nonstop reach.

The cost to charter a Falcon 900EX is typically $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. New York to London one-way rental runs approximately $74,750 to $95,000. New York to Paris one-way charter price is approximately $78,500 to $98,600. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate; landing fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately.

At the $5,500-8,000 rate tier, the 900EX competes with the Challenger 604 and Legacy 600. Its trijet configuration, 4,500 nm range, and three-zone 33.5-foot cabin are its primary advantages.
