DASSAULT FALCON 900LX
Dassault Falcon 900LX for sale: The Current Trijet King
The 2010 Winglet Evolution
In 2010, Dassault added winglets to the 900EX EASy II and created the Falcon 900LX. The winglets added range, reduced drag, and improved efficiency - pushing the 900 series to its ultimate capability.

Less drag means the engines don't have to work as hard for the same cruise performance. For an owner flying the aircraft regularly, that matters over hundreds of flight hours and long international sectors.

The aircraft retains the familiar Falcon 900 configuration with three Honeywell TFE731 engines and a range of around 4,800 nautical miles, depending on the aircraft configuration, payload, weather and operating conditions.

That gives you a very useful mission profile for a private aircraft.
Specifications That Perfect the Trijet
• Range: 8,890 km (4,800 nm): matching the EX with better efficiency;
• Speed: 950 km/h (513 knots) - Mach 0.87 maximum;
• Capacity: 12 – 19 passengers in the quietest 900 cabin;
• Winglets: Reduced fuel burn by 5 - 7% - meaningful savings over time;
• Avionics: EASy II with FalconResponse support.

The LX is the definitive Falcon 900 - the trijet that offers Gulfstream range with Falcon handling and three-engine safety.
Three things worth knowing about the 900LX
  • The winglets were a practical upgrade.
Dassault's winglet installation was designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency and extend the aircraft's capabilities without creating an entirely new airframe. For an operator, that is an attractive approach because you are building on an aircraft design that had already accumulated substantial operational experience.
  • Three engines still have a place.
Ask pilots who have spent years flying long-haul business jets and you will get different opinions about engine count. I prefer to look at the actual mission.
The Falcon 900LX gives you three engines, which can be particularly useful when operating long sectors and visiting airports where diversion options are limited. It also gives the aircraft its characteristic performance and handling qualities.
Of course, three engines do not remove the need for proper planning, maintenance or crew discipline. They simply give the aircraft another layer of capability.
  • The cabin is one of the reasons people buy the 900.
The Falcon 900 family was designed around a wide, comfortable cabin rather than simply adding seats around the aircraft's systems.

Depending on configuration, the aircraft can accommodate up to around 19 passengers. In a typical executive layout, you will usually see considerably fewer seats, with more space given to passengers.
That distinction matters. A brochure may tell you how many people you can put inside. A pilot and owner will ask how comfortable those people are after six or seven hours.
The Verdict
The Falcon 900LX is a serious long-range business jet with a very particular character.

Three engines. Around 4,800 nm of published range. A large, flexible cabin. Dassault handling. And winglets that made an already capable 900EX more efficient.

I would consider the 900LX when the mission calls for long international sectors, a proper passenger cabin and the operational flexibility of a trijet.

It is an aircraft I would be comfortable discussing with an owner who actually plans to fly it, rather than simply park it in a hangar.

FAQ | DASSAULT FALCON 900LX
To buy, or not to buy?
Time is money.
Lost time costs more than the jet.
Q:
Falcon 900LX, Falcon 7X or Global 6000. Which one should I buy?
Support:
The one that fits your mission.
Not the biggest.
Not the newest.
Not the most expensive.
The right aircraft is the one you will actually use.
Q:
Why buy a Falcon 900LX when the 7X is cheaper?
Support:
Because cheaper is not the same as better.
The 7X can be a very strong alternative.
But the 900LX offers a different combination of cabin, range and performance.
We compare the mission, not the price tag alone.
Q:
Why three engines? Isn't that outdated?
Support:
It is a fair question.
Three engines add complexity.
But the 900LX's configuration was designed around long-range performance and operational flexibility.
The question is not whether three engines look old-fashioned.
The question is whether they make sense for your operation.
Q:
Falcon 900LX or Gulfstream G450?
Support:
Both can be compelling on the pre-owned market.
But they are different aircraft with different strengths.
We look at routes, passengers, airports, operating costs and maintenance status.
The brochure does not pay the bills. The right aircraft does.
Q:
What is the biggest mistake when buying a Falcon 900LX?
Support:
Looking only at the purchase price.
The aircraft's real economics include maintenance, engines, inspections, records, downtime and future events.
A good price can hide a bad aircraft.
Q:
Is the Falcon 900LX still worth buying against newer jets?
Support:
For the right buyer, yes.
You do not need the newest aircraft to get serious long-range capability.
You need the right aircraft in the right condition at the right price.
Don't pay for “new.” Pay for value.
Q:
Can you find a Falcon 900LX that is not publicly advertised?
Support:
Sometimes.
We search the open market and our private network.
Not every serious aircraft is publicly listed.
If everyone can see it, everyone can chase it.
Q:
Do you actually operate aircraft yourselves?
Support:
Yes.
We operate and maintain two aircraft ourselves.
We deal with maintenance, inspections, engineers, parts, records and operational issues firsthand.
We don't just sell aircraft. We live with them.
Q:
Why buy a Falcon 900LX through BUSINESSAVIATION.com?
Support:
Because we ask a different question.
Not:
“Can we sell it?”
But:
“Would we operate it ourselves?”
Established 1995. Aircraft acquisition. Operations. Technical management. Continuing airworthiness.
That's the difference between selling an aircraft and knowing what you're selling.

P.S.
Over the years, we have seen people buy aircraft for very different reasons.
Impulse. Experience. Months of research.
Sometimes, if we are honest, status.
And that is perfectly fine.
But sooner or later, most owners discover the same thing:
They didn't really buy an aircraft. They bought control over their time.
No waiting. No чужого расписания. No missed opportunities because getting there took too long.
You choose when to leave.
Where to go.
And how your day is spent.
Because in the end, the most expensive thing you can lose is not money.
It's time. And no aircraft can bring it back. But the right one can help you waste less of it.
