Falcon 8X Private Jet Charter

Falcon 8X at a glance

Every figure in this block is copied from the specification table on our own fleet page for this type. Nothing here is a manufacturer brochure number and nothing has been rounded up.

What the range means in practice

11,945 km of published range against a longest published route of 5,500 km. On this network the Falcon 8X has 6,445 km more range than it will ever be asked for, so the interesting question is not how far it goes but what the extra metre of cabin does. Both answers are below.

The number that matters on a chartered aircraft is not the headline range but the margin left over once the headline range has been spent. A published range figure is a still-air, optimum-cruise, sensible-payload figure. Fill all sixteen seats, load the hold and fly into a winter jet stream, and the usable figure comes down. On a sector where the margin was thin to begin with, that is the difference between a nonstop and a fuel stop.

Here the margin is not thin, it is enormous. The longest sector we publish, London to Dubai at 5,500 km, uses less than half the published range. The Gulf routes from Amsterdam, Geneva, Zurich, Milan, Vienna and Athens sit between 3,273 km and 5,169 km. Inside Europe the longest route on this site is London to Malaga at 1,721 km, about one seventh of what this type can do.

Range you do not use is still worth something. An aircraft with this much fuel in hand is the one least likely to be re-planned around the weather on the morning of departure, least likely to need a technical stop when the routing goes the long way round closed airspace, and least likely to have to leave two passengers or the golf clubs behind to make the numbers work. It is also the aircraft that runs a long sector and repositions afterwards without a fuel stop, which is what keeps a multi-leg itinerary on the schedule you were given.

None of that is a promise for your specific day. Published range is a specification, not a guarantee: the operating crew plans every flight against the actual weight, the actual weather and the actual alternate airfields, and their number is the one that counts. What the table below tells you is that on this network none of our sectors are anywhere near the limit of this type.

The twelve longest routes we publish, measured against 11,945 km

Below 2,400 km the question stops being interesting: every remaining route on this website is inside the range of this aircraft with room to spare. These are the mid-length ones, from about an hour and a quarter to two and a half hours by our own published flight-time estimates.

Distances are great-circle figures between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. Flight times quoted anywhere on this page are estimates from a model fitted to the flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes, not measured block times. The 19 routes shorter than 700 km are listed on the route index. Range figures are the ones published on our own fleet page and assume still air, optimum cruise and a sensible payload.

The cabin

13.00 m long, 2.34 m wide, 1.88 m high, thirteen to sixteen seats, six or seven of which become beds, and a 4.00 m³ hold that stays reachable in flight. Here is what each of those measurements means once you are on board.

The extra metre. Our specification tables put the Falcon 7X cabin at 11.91 m and this one at 13.00 m. A metre does not sound like much until you see where it goes: it is the difference between a cabin that seats sixteen and a cabin that seats sixteen and still has room for a proper separate rest area at the back. On a six-hour sector with a full party, that is the whole argument for the type.

Standing up. Cabin height is 1.88 m, a shade over six foot two, so almost every adult walks the length of the cabin upright. This is not a cabin you crouch in between seats.

Width. 2.34 m, which on our fleet page is wider than either the G450 or the G550 at 2.24 m, and the widest figure of any Dassault we list. Width buys the aisle: people pass each other while a meal is on the table rather than waiting for it to be cleared.

Sleeping. Six to seven berths out of thirteen to sixteen seats. Everybody travels, about half the party lies flat. On sectors of four hours and more that ratio, rather than the range figure, is what usually decides the aircraft.

Luggage. 4.00 m³, accessible in flight - the same figure and the same arrangement as the Falcon 7X. It is a moderate volume by the standards of our large jets, where the Globals list 5.52 m³, so a party of sixteen with winter sports equipment is worth flagging at the request stage.

Cabin dimensions, berth counts, baggage volumes and the flight-attendant line are all taken from the specification tables published on this website, including the comparison figures quoted for other types.

Questions we get about this aircraft

The Falcon 8X and its cabin

The aircraft and the cabin as they are. These are the images we publish for this type; we do not publish a cabin plan for it, so the layout of the specific airframe goes out with the quotation instead.

Prices we have published for the Falcon 8X

These are our own figures for this aircraft, not somebody else’s estimate. They are whole-aircraft prices for the sectors named, at the passenger count shown, and they move with the date, the positioning of the aircraft and the fuel price on the day. Treat them as the size of the number rather than as a quotation: only a written quotation against your dates is a price. Our own guide rate for the type is EUR 7,600 per flight hour; the sector figures below are whole-aircraft prices and are not that rate multiplied by the flight time.
