Charter of a Dassault Falcon 900LX starts at $5,500 to $8,000 per flight hour. Dassault announced the Falcon 900LX at EBACE in May 2008 and received EASA and FAA certification in July 2010. It is the current-production Falcon 900 variant. It carries up to 16 passengers across a 4,750-nautical-mile range at 480 knots. Blended winglets from Aviation Partners Inc. distinguish it visually and deliver 7 percent more range than the Falcon 900EX. Hogani Jets coordinates each Falcon 900LX charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

The Falcon 900LX is the latest development in the Falcon 900 series. The defining feature is a pair of Aviation Partners Inc. high-Mach blended winglets that extend the wingspan from 63 feet 5 inches to 70 feet 2 inches. The winglets reduce induced drag in cruise and deliver the range extension.

The winglets add 7 percent more range over the Falcon 900EX and improve climb performance by 10 percent. The aircraft reaches flight level 390 in 20 minutes. The EASy II cockpit is standard on all production 900LX aircraft.

Dassault announced the 900LX at EBACE in May 2008 and received dual EASA and FAA certification in July 2010. Production is ongoing. There are approximately 91 aircraft are in the active global fleet.

The Dassault Falcon 900LX is a heavy trijet in current production. It carries up to 16 passengers across a 4,750-nautical-mile range at 480 knots. Three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines produce 5,000 lbf each. Maximum takeoff weight is 49,000 lbs and service ceiling is 51,000 feet. Blended winglets from Aviation Partners Inc. are standard on all production aircraft.

The blended winglets are the single feature that distinguishes the Falcon 900LX from every earlier variant in the Falcon 900 family. They are visible from the ground and recognizable in flight.

A blended winglet curves smoothly upward at the wingtip rather than meeting the wing at a sharp angle. The smooth blend reduces the aerodynamic penalty of the wing-to-winglet junction. Aviation Partners Inc. designed the high-Mach winglet set for the 900LX. The same company developed the blended winglets used on the Boeing 737.

Per the manufacturer's official announcement at EBACE 2008, the blended winglets add 7 percent more range over the Falcon 900EX. Climb performance improves by 10 percent. The aircraft reaches flight level 390 in 20 minutes on a standard day.

The winglets also extend the wingspan from 63 feet 5 inches (Falcon 900EX) to 70 feet 2 inches. That 6.75-foot addition reduces induced drag throughout cruise. The longer span improves lift-to-drag ratio at cruise altitudes above 40,000 feet.

The 900LX burns approximately 304 gallons of fuel per hour at cruise, the same rate as the Falcon 900EX EASy. The winglets deliver range improvement through drag reduction rather than increased fuel capacity.

The Falcon 900LX cockpit is EASy II, not EASy. This distinction matters for pilots transitioning from earlier Falcon 900 variants.

EASy II is an updated version of the Honeywell/Dassault Primus Epic EASy suite that appeared on the Falcon 900EX EASy. Both use integrated LCD displays. EASy II adds improved synthetic vision, updated navigation databases, and enhanced maintenance diagnostics.

The FalconEye Combined Vision System, introduced at NBAA 2016 as part of a cabin and systems modernization, is available as optional equipment on 900LX aircraft produced from 2016 onward. FalconEye projects synthetic and enhanced vision data into the pilot's field of view.

The Falcon 900EX EASy and Falcon 900LX are the same aircraft from the cabin door inward. The winglets and EASy II cockpit are the meaningful differences.

For charter passengers, the cabin experience is identical on both variants. The 900LX is the preferred choice when current-production availability matters. Its EASy II cockpit and winglet profile set it apart from all prior variants.

A heavy jet trades a super midsize jet's lower rate for more cabin room and range.

  • More range: 4,750 nautical miles versus 3,000 to 4,000 nm for most super midsize jets.
  • More passengers: up to 16 versus 9 to 12 for most super midsize aircraft.
  • Three cabin zones: separate work, dining, and rest areas across 33.5 feet.
  • Trijet reliability: ETOPS exemption and additional engine redundancy.
  • Best mission: transatlantic and transcontinental routes for large executive groups of 8 to 16.

The Falcon 900LX seats up to 16 passengers in a 33.5-foot three-zone cabin. Standard charter configurations run 8 to 12.

  • Three separate lounge zones: forward work, center dining and conference, aft rest zone.
  • A full-size galley supports hot meal preparation for transatlantic segments.
  • Two seats can be reclined and combined to form a full-length bed.
  • Cabin width at 7.7 feet allows comfortable dining-table seating and a full aisle.
  • A full-size aft vanity lavatory with walk-in baggage access is standard.
  • A certified flight attendant is included on all Falcon 900LX charters at Hogani Jets.

The Falcon 900LX 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 aircraft seats up to 16 passengers with 139 cubic feet of pressurized baggage capacity.

For large groups needing the current-production Falcon 900 variant, the 900LX is the definitive choice in the family. The EX EASy offers a similar cabin at potentially lower charter rates than an older aircraft. The 900LX is the new-production benchmark.

The 4,750-nautical-mile range places transatlantic routes comfortably within reach. New York to London, New York to Paris are nonstop routes and Miami to London can sometimes require a fuel stop.
