Key Points: Why Charter the Dassault Falcon 2000?
• Large cabin comfort for up to ~10 passengers in a super-midsize platform.
• Excellent performance and range especially in later variants.
• Access to more airports thanks to strong short-field/steep-approach capability (especially 2000LXS).
• Twin-engine efficiency and proven reliability with nearly 30+ years of Falcon 2000 operation.
• High performance, great cabin, and lower hourly cost than heavy jets.
Dassault Falcon 2000 / 2000EX / 2000LX / 2000LXS / 2000S Development & Background
The Dassault Falcon 2000 traces its lineage to the Falcon 900 series, conceived as a smaller, twin-engine derivative that preserved the DNA of Dassault’s legendary aerodynamic efficiency and robust design philosophy. Introduced in the mid-1990s, the Falcon 2000 was developed to meet the demand for a more cost-effective large-cabin jet that could deliver intercontinental range while maintaining low direct operating costs.
Dassault leveraged its aerospace expertise from the Mirage fighter program to engineer a supercritical wing and lightweight fuselage optimized through advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The Falcon 2000’s clean-sheet wing design was refined for high subsonic cruise, with Dassault’s proprietary blending of lift-to-drag ratios ensuring performance efficiency at both high and low speeds. It debuted in 1995, powered by two General Electric CFE738-1-1B turbofans—marking the only business jet to use that engine, jointly developed by GE and AlliedSignal.
As performance demands increased, Dassault introduced the Falcon 2000EX in 2003. This variant replaced the original engines with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofans, providing higher thrust, better climb rates, and an extended range exceeding 4,000 nautical miles. The 2000EX also introduced upgraded avionics and a more refined cabin environment, addressing the needs of operators seeking transatlantic capability without stepping into the tri-jet category.
Building on the EX’s success, the Falcon 2000LX launched in 2007, incorporating blended winglets developed by Aviation Partners to improve aerodynamic efficiency. This addition not only enhanced climb performance and range but also improved fuel economy by roughly 5%. Dassault’s meticulous testing program confirmed that the LX could cover routes like New York to London or Paris to Dubai nonstop.
In 2011, Dassault further refined the platform into two distinct roles: the Falcon 2000LXS, combining the long-range efficiency of the LX with the short-field performance of the newer Falcon 2000S; and the Falcon 2000S itself, designed as a “short-field performer” capable of operating from runways under 4,000 feet. The LXS introduced leading-edge slats and trailing-edge modifications, offering slower approach speeds and remarkable field performance, while retaining intercontinental range.
Over the years, continuous improvements to the avionics suite, including the EASy II flight deck, synthetic vision, and improved flight management systems, have made the Falcon 2000 line a pinnacle of versatility and refinement.
Dassault Falcon 2000 Experiences/Testimonials
“As a pilot on the Falcon 2000LXS I’ve flown into high-altitude airports like Aspen and Geneva. The short-field take-off/landing performance is real and makes a difference for our charter clients.”

Dassault Falcon 2000 Aircraft Capabilities & Performance
The Dassault Falcon 2000 series showcases the perfect balance between intercontinental performance and midsize jet efficiency. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofan engines, each producing 7,000 lbs of thrust, the Falcon 2000 offers a smooth, reliable, and efficient flight profile. These engines, coupled with Dassault’s advanced aerodynamic design and digital flight control systems, enable a maximum cruise speed of 482 knots (Mach 0.84) and a range of approximately 3,350 nautical miles, allowing nonstop routes such as New York – London or Los Angeles – Honolulu.
The Falcon 2000 climbs rapidly to its typical cruise altitude of 41,000 ft in under 20 minutes and has a certified service ceiling of 47,000 ft. Its robust twin-engine layout provides exceptional performance on shorter runways and excellent fuel economy, giving operators flexibility for both transcontinental and regional operations.
In charter operations, the Falcon 2000 is typically flown by two professional pilots, though the aircraft’s advanced Honeywell Primus Epic avionics suite significantly reduces cockpit workload and enhances situational awareness. With its aerodynamic refinement, strong thrust-to-weight ratio, and Dassault’s tri-jet heritage in design philosophy, the Falcon 2000 family remains one of the most capable and versatile large-cabin business jets in its class.
