Dassault Falcon 900 specifications
Figures are for the Falcon 900LX (Dassault). Passenger figure is the certified maximum; charter cabins are configured for fewer.
Where it fits
The trijet that flies Zurich to New York in one leg
The figures on this page are for the Falcon 900LX, which Dassault launched in 2008 and certified in 2010. Its published range is 4,750 NM at Mach 0.75 with six passengers and two crew on NBAA IFR reserves, and Dassault cites Paris to Beijing and Mumbai to London as nonstop missions.
The cabin is 33 feet 2 inches long excluding cockpit and baggage, 6 feet 2 inches tall and 7 feet 8 inches wide, with 1,264 cubic feet of volume. It is certified for up to 19 passengers, but charter cabins are configured for fewer, so the desk quotes the seat count of the specific aircraft.
It flies on three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines, and Dassault says the 900LX has 7% more range than the Falcon 900EX before it. Earlier 900 variants have different range and avionics, so the desk confirms which version an operator is offering.
Sectors beyond 4,750 NM, or a party whose luggage outgrows a 127 cubic foot hold. For longer nonstops, the Falcon 7X (5,950 NM) is the better tool; where bags matter more than range, the Legacy 600 carries 286 cubic feet.
Missions
What the desk books it for
Zurich to New York nonstop
Zurich to Teterboro is 3,410 NM, inside the 900LX's published range. The desk plans the wind and the passenger load before it quotes, because westbound is the harder direction.
The Gulf to London
Dubai to London (2,978 NM) and Riyadh to London (2,675 NM) sit well inside its range, with permits filed alongside the trip.
India to Europe
Mumbai to London is one of the nonstop missions Dassault cites for the 900LX, for families and business travellers who want one leg rather than a connection.
Los Angeles to Hawaii
Over 2,200 NM of open water, flown nonstop with a long cabin that leaves room to move on the way.
Where it flies
Routes the desk flies on the Falcon 900
Sectors from our route guides that sit inside the Falcon 900LX's published range. Each opens to the flight time, the airports at both ends and what to know before you fly.
Cabin and baggage
Thirty-three feet of stand-up cabin
Dassault measures the 900LX cabin at 33 feet 2 inches long excluding the cockpit and baggage, 7 feet 8 inches wide and 6 feet 2 inches tall, for a volume of 1,264 cubic feet. Most passengers stand upright and walk its length.
It is certified for up to 19 passengers, and Dassault lists eight to nineteen. That upper figure is a certified maximum rather than a charter layout: operators configure their aircraft for fewer, and the actual seat count is on the quote.
The baggage compartment holds 127 cubic feet. Dassault's figures do not say whether it is reachable in flight, so tell the desk the bag count, golf bags and skis when you enquire and the operator confirms the hold before the aircraft is offered.
Performance and airports
Runways, climb and the airports it opens
Dassault publishes a balanced field length of 5,360 feet at maximum weight at sea level on a standard day, and a landing distance of 2,415 feet at a typical landing weight with six passengers. It reaches 39,000 feet in 20 minutes, is certified to 51,000 feet and has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.87.
The desk checks those figures against the executive airports on its routes, including Teterboro, Farnborough and Geneva, using the weight and temperature of the actual trip.
Dassault states that all Falcons are steep approach certified and approved for London City; the desk still confirms the specific aircraft and crew hold that approval. At Aspen, the runway length available on the day depends on elevation, temperature and weight, and the desk checks it before a quote goes out.

Falcon 900 against the other large cabin
How the Falcon 900 lines up against the other large cabin jets we cover. On published figures the 900LX flies further than the others in the group, the G450 cruises faster and has a longer cabin, and the Legacy 600 and 650 carry more baggage; the Falcon's case is three engines, a 33 foot cabin and 4,750 NM in one aircraft.
| Aircraft | Passengers | Range | Cruise | Cabin height | Baggage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Embraer Legacy 600 | 13 to 14 | 3,400 NM | Mach 0.80 | 6 ft 0 in | 286 cu ft |
| Embraer Legacy 650 | 13 to 14 | 3,900 NM | Mach 0.78 | 6 ft 0 in | 286 cu ft |
| Bombardier Challenger 605 | 9 to 13 | 4,000 NM | 471 kts | 6 ft 1 in | n/a |
| Dassault Falcon 2000 | Up to 10 | 4,000 NM | Mach 0.80 | 6 ft 2 in | 130 cu ft |
| Gulfstream G450 | Up to 19 | 4,350 NM | Mach 0.85 | 6 ft 2 in | 130 cu ft |

Chartering with Icarus Jet
How we charter the Falcon 900
We source Falcon 900s from ARGUS-audited and Wyvern-certified operators, and the operator's name, audit status and exact variant are on the quote. The desk checks range against the real routing and baggage against the real party before it checks availability, so the aircraft offered is one that genuinely fits the trip.
Quotes are all-in and itemised: aircraft and crew, positioning, landing and handling, fuel and taxes, with nothing added after the flight that was not on the page. The number depends on where the nearest suitable aircraft is based, the dates and the airports, which is why we price your actual trip rather than publish a rate.
Questions
Falcon 900 questions the desk gets
How far can a Falcon 900 fly nonstop?
Dassault publishes 4,750 NM for the Falcon 900LX at Mach 0.75 with six passengers and two crew on NBAA IFR reserves. That covers Zurich to New York and the Gulf to London, and Dassault cites Paris to Beijing. The earlier 900EX flies less, and winds, temperature and weight decide the real figure on the day.
How many passengers does a Falcon 900 seat?
The 900LX is certified for up to 19 passengers, and Dassault lists eight to nineteen. Nineteen is a certified maximum: charter aircraft are configured for fewer, and the desk puts the actual seat count on the quote.
Can you stand up in the cabin?
Yes. The cabin is 6 feet 2 inches tall, 7 feet 8 inches wide and 33 feet 2 inches long excluding cockpit and baggage, so most passengers stand upright and walk the length of it.
How much luggage fits on a Falcon 900?
The 900LX baggage compartment holds 127 cubic feet. Tell the desk about golf bags, skis or equipment cases when you enquire, so the hold is planned before the aircraft is offered.
How many engines does the Falcon 900 have?
Three. The 900LX flies on three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines of 5,000 lb thrust each. The range, climb and runway figures on this page are for that 900LX configuration.
What is the difference between the Falcon 900LX and the Falcon 900EX?
Dassault says the 900LX has 7% more range than the 900EX. Earlier 900 variants, including the 900EX and 900EX EASy, also differ in avionics. The desk will tell you which variant an operator is offering and plan the range for that aircraft.
Can a Falcon 900 fly Zurich to New York nonstop?
The sector is 3,410 NM, inside the 900LX's published range, and takes about 7 hours 45 minutes to 8 hours 45 minutes. Westbound winds and the passenger load still decide the plan, and the desk checks both before it quotes.
