Heavy jet
A three-engine large jet known for efficiency, range and the ability to use challenging airfields, with a long three-zone cabin.
The range and runway figures shown are typical manufacturer values. Fully loaded with passengers and luggage, real-world range is shorter, so Aaliya Jets advises on the right aircraft for your exact route.
Gallery images are representative of this aircraft type and are intended to give an impression of the cabin and exterior. The actual aircraft may differ slightly from the one shown. Photographs of the actual aircraft assigned to your charter are provided on request.
The Falcon 900LX is the latest in Dassault’s three-engine Falcon 900 family, a design known since the late 1980s for its efficiency and ability to use short runways. Introduced in 2010, the LX added winglets for greater range. Its three engines and rugged design suit demanding routes and airports.
The Falcon 900LX was announced in 2008 and entered service in 2010 as the flagship of Dassault’s long-running Falcon 900 trijet family. Its three-engine layout is a Falcon signature, giving added redundancy over long overwater legs and access to demanding airfields.
Power comes from three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines, with high Mach blended winglets by Aviation Partners that cut fuel burn and improve climb. The flight deck uses Dassault’s EASy II system, and the cabin stands about 6 feet 2 inches tall with a rear enclosed lavatory and up to 4,750 nautical miles of range.
