Overview

The Dassault Falcon 7X at a glance

Charter clients pick the 7X for three missions. First, city-airport access: the 628 m landing distance opens up London City (with tankering), Aspen, St Moritz and Innsbruck to a 12-seat cabin. Second, transcontinental range at reduced runway penalty: it goes 5,950 nm out of runways heavier twins cannot use. Third, redundancy: three engines are meaningful over oceans and remote arctic routes, and the 7X retains full performance on any two engines. The 7X is out of production since 2023 (succeeded by the Falcon 8X), so today's market is entirely pre-owned but well supported by the global Dassault network.

Questions

Dassault Falcon 7X FAQ

How many passengers can the Falcon 7X seat?
Twelve in the typical three-zone charter layout, up to 14 with high-density seating. Sleeping capacity is eight in fully flat berths.
What is the Falcon 7X hourly charter rate?
Typical European rates run 6,000 to 6,500 EUR per hour ex-tax. North-American operators quote 11,000 to 11,500 USD per hour. Repositioning legs, day-rates and airport fees push the total higher.
How much does a Falcon 7X cost?
The type went out of production in 2023 at a 54 million USD equipped list price. Today's pre-owned market runs 18 to 45 million USD depending on year, hours, engine programme, and refurbishment status.
What does it cost to own and operate a Falcon 7X?
Fixed costs (crew salaries, hangar, insurance, subscriptions) run about 700,000 to 900,000 USD per year. Variable costs are roughly 5,200 to 6,700 USD per flight hour including fuel, maintenance reserves and landing fees. At 325 hours per year, all-in operating cost lands near 3.0 to 3.2 million USD.
How many crew does the Falcon 7X need?
Two pilots plus one cabin attendant is the standard charter configuration. The aircraft is not single-pilot certified.
Where is the Falcon 7X built?
Dassault Aviation assembled the 7X in Bordeaux-Merignac, France, with completion in Little Rock, Arkansas for North-American customers.
What year did the Falcon 7X first fly?
The prototype first flew on 5 May 2005. Certification followed on 27 April 2007 and deliveries began the same year.
Is the Falcon 7X still in production?
No. Dassault ended 7X production in 2023 after 289+ deliveries. The Falcon 8X is the direct successor and shares the trijet architecture with 500 nm more range and a lower cabin altitude.
What engines does the Falcon 7X use?
Three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307A turbofans, each producing 6,402 lbf of thrust. The trijet layout gives full performance on any two engines and is one of the reasons the 7X can hold ETOPS-free routings over oceans.
How does the Falcon 7X compare to a Global 6000?
The Falcon 7X gives up about 50 nm of range but lands in 628 m versus 814 m for the Global 6000. Cabin altitude is lower (6,000 ft vs 4,500 ft in the Global), but the 7X wins on runway access and quieter cabin sound levels.
Can the Falcon 7X use short runways?
Yes. Landing distance is 628 m, the shortest of any ultra-long-range jet. It regularly operates into London City with tankering, Aspen, St Moritz and Innsbruck, all of which are closed to Global-series aircraft.
What is the baggage capacity?
4,000 litres, or about 141 cubic feet, in a pressurised aft compartment accessible in flight. Enough for twelve passengers with hard-case luggage.
