Falcon 6X

Dassault Aviation introduced the Falcon 6X as the evolution of the 5X programme. First flight in March 2021, EASA and FAA certifications obtained in August 2023, commercial deliveries from late 2023: this twin-engine ultra-long-range business jet is now operational and available for charter through IBC Aviation.

A cabin designed for long-haul comfort

The Falcon 6X features the tallest and widest cabin in its category. With a length of 12.30 metres, width of 2.58 metres, and height of 1.98 metres, the interior space clearly stands out from competing aircraft in the ultra-long-range segment.

The model's signature innovation is a skylight located in the galley area, bringing unprecedented natural light to the cabin. This opening, unique on the business aviation market, directly contributes to the sense of space onboard.

The cabin configuration can be organised in three distinct zones: main lounge, conference area, and rear suite. The maximum passenger capacity is 16, though most delivered aircraft feature a 12 to 14-seat configuration optimised for comfort and ergonomics over long stages.

A range that unlocks new direct routes

With a range of 5,500 nautical miles, equivalent to approximately 10,186 kilometres, the Falcon 6X connects the following routes non-stop:

• Geneva — Los Angeles
• New York — Moscow
• Paris — Tokyo (depending on prevailing winds)
• Dubai — Sydney
• Hong Kong — Los Angeles

This range places the Falcon 6X firmly in the ultra-long-range segment, competing directly with the Gulfstream G500 and the Bombardier Global 5500.

Engines and performance

The Falcon 6X is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engines, developed specifically for this programme. This powerplant achieves approximately 10 % lower fuel consumption compared to previous generations of engines in the same category.

• Maximum operating speed: Mach 0.90
