News 28 SEPTEMBER 2026
Tried & Tested Falcon 8X aircraft for private charter flights

The Dassault Falcon 8X is an ultra-long-range jet and a popular choice among our VIP clients for transcontinental private jet charters. The flagship of the Falcon family, the 8X is a tri-engine aircraft built on the success of the Falcon 7X, offering even greater range and enhanced cabin comfort.

Designed and built in France, the Falcon 8X boasts a spacious cabin, accommodating 14 passengers (depending on configuration), a generous luggage hold which is accessible in flight, as well as a fully equipped galley and multiple washroom facilities.

Renowned for its flexibility, the 8X is often selected by our clients for long-haul business travel, luxury leisure itineraries and music artist movements.

Let’s take a look at the specifications:

  • Powered by three Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D engines.
  • The flat-floor cabin measures 13 m in length, 1.88 m high and 2.34 m wide, with 4 m³ of baggage capacity.
  • A maximum operating speed of Mach 0.90 and a flying range of around 11,945 km (6,450 nautical miles).
  • Accommodates up to 14 passengers, depending on configuration.

Seating on board the Falcon 8X

With a wide range of cabin configurations, the Falcon 8X is designed with both flexibility and luxury in mind.

Its spacious cabin is typically configured into three distinct lounge areas, providing privacy and comfort for up to 14 passengers and space to work, dine and relax in separate spaces.

Layout options include club seating, conference tables, divans, and private sleeping areas. If you’re looking for a particular configuration for your charter flight, we can find the right aircraft for your requirements.

Up to 32 large windows fill the cabin with natural light, while advanced soundproofing makes the cabin of the Falcon 8X whisper-quiet. High-speed connectivity, in-flight entertainment and intuitive controls for lighting, temperature and window shades complete the comfortable environment expected on an ultra-long-range jet.

Reasons to charter the Falcon 8X:

Long-haul business travel

The Falcon 8X provides an efficient and comfortable way to travel between cities and is frequently chosen by our corporate clients for long-haul flights. Its three distinct cabin zones allow passengers to hold meetings, work privately or rest, ensuring they arrive at their destination rested and refreshed.

Family leisure travel

The Falcon 8X’s spacious cabin, flexible seating and in-flight baggage access make it an excellent choice for families travelling long distances. Its ability to access airports such as London City (LCY), Lugano (LUG) and La Môle–St-Tropez (LTT) can also help clients fly closer to their final destination.

Music artist travel

The demands of an international tour require a high level of planning by tour managers. The Falcon 8X is a strong option for long-haul artist movements, offering generous luggage capacity and a private, quiet environment in which to rest between shows.

Why we like the Dassault Falcon 8X

“The Falcon 8X is a superb choice for clients who need genuine long-range capability without compromising on comfort or airport access” says James Gregory, Head of VIP Charter at Smart Aviation. “Its three-zone cabin offers the privacy and flexibility required for intercontinental journeys, while its quiet interior and generous luggage capacity make it equally well suited to business, leisure and music travel.”

Similar ultra-long-range jets include the Gulfstream G600 and Bombardier Global 8000.
