Falcon 900 series Private Jet Charter

Falcon 900 series 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

8,890 km published range against a longest published route of 5,500 km. Every sector on this website is inside the envelope, and the Gulf runs - the ones where range questions usually start - leave between three and five thousand kilometres in hand. What follows is the arithmetic, route by route.

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 fourteen seats, load the tail hold and fly into a winter jet stream, and the usable figure comes down. On a sector where the margin was thin, that is the difference between a nonstop and a fuel stop in southern Europe.

On this type the margin is generous rather than extravagant. London to Dubai at 5,500 km leaves 3,390 km of published range unspent - not the four-figure surplus of a G550, but far more than the erosion a full cabin and a headwind can plausibly cause. The other Gulf sectors, from Amsterdam at 5,169 km down to Athens at 3,273 km, leave between 3,721 km and 5,617 km in hand.

The Falcon 900 earns its place on this network for a reason that has little to do with range. It is a trijet with the full-width Falcon cabin on a comparatively short airframe, which means it takes fourteen people out of runways that a larger long-range twin would need to leave fuel behind for. Our own route research names it on the eastern Mediterranean and Gulf sectors - Paphos, Larnaca, Athens to Dubai, Vienna to Dubai and Dubai to Munich - which is exactly that combination of distance and airfield.

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 which sectors are comfortably inside the envelope. On this type, all of them are.

The twelve longest routes we publish, measured against 8,890 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

10.11 m long, 2.34 m wide, 1.88 m high, twelve to fourteen seats, five or six of which become beds, and a 3.60 m³ hold in the tail that is reachable in flight. Here is what each of those measurements means once you are on board.

Width without length. This is the distinguishing fact about the type on our fleet page. The cabin is 2.34 m wide - identical to the Falcon 7X and 8X, and wider than the Gulfstream G450 and G550 at 2.24 m - but only 10.11 m long. You get the full Falcon cross-section on a shorter aeroplane, which is a very different proposition from a narrow tube of the same floor area.

Standing up. Cabin height 1.88 m, a shade over six foot two. Almost every adult walks the cabin upright.

Several areas, not one. The description we publish for this type mentions several passenger areas, a spacious galley, restrooms and the tail baggage compartment. On a fourteen-seat cabin of this length, dividing the space is what stops it feeling like a shuttle: a group of four can work at one end while the rest of the party sleeps at the other.

Sleeping. Five to six berths out of twelve to fourteen seats. On the Gulf sectors this type is quoted on - four and a half to six and a quarter hours by our own published estimates - that is enough for the people who need to arrive rested to arrive rested.

Luggage. 3.60 m³, in the tail section and accessible during the flight. That is modest against the Globals at 5.52 m³ but it is a usable hold rather than a locker, and reachability in flight is worth more on a six-hour sector than a cubic metre of volume you cannot get to.

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.

What it costs

From 7,600 EUR per flight hour. That is the rate Diamond Executive Aero Services publishes for the Falcon 900 on its own rate card. It is a rate card, not a quotation.

An hourly rate is the largest single component of a charter price and it is never the whole of it. A quotation also carries the cost of positioning the aircraft to your departure airport and away again afterwards, landing, handling and parking charges at both ends, crew duty and, on some dates, overnight costs. Two trips of the same duration on the same aircraft can differ substantially because one starts where the aeroplane already is and the other does not.

Used carefully, though, the hourly rate is a good sanity check. Take the flight time we publish for a route, multiply, and you have the flight-time component of the price before the fixed costs are added. The examples below use our own published flight-time estimates.

The same 7,600 EUR hourly figure appears on our rate card for the Legacy 650, Challenger 605, Falcon 7X, Global 5000, Gulfstream G550, which is what makes it a class rate rather than an aircraft rate. Choosing between types inside a band is a decision about cabin, berths and luggage, not about the hour.

Which routes we quote it on

Our own route research names the Falcon 900 series as a suggested aircraft on 5 of the routes published on this website. They run from 3,228 km to 4,565 km. These are not the only sectors it can fly - the range table above covers that - they are the ones where we would put it forward first.

Suggested aircraft per route come from the route research file behind this website. Every route page listed here also names alternatives, because availability on your dates decides more charters than any specification does. The full list is on the route index.

Questions we get about this aircraft

The Falcon 900 series and its cabin

The aircraft and the cabin as they are, and the seating plan underneath. These are the images we publish for this type.

Cabin plan for the Falcon 900 series. Layouts vary between individual aircraft; we confirm the plan of the actual aircraft with the quotation.

Prices we have published for the Falcon 900 series

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.
