Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 6X: Soaring into the Future

The aviation industry witnessed a significant milestone as Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 6X, the latest addition to their prestigious lineup, officially commenced operations. This event marked a new era in luxury air travel, with the Falcon 6X being the largest jet in Dassault’s Falcon series until the anticipated arrival of the Falcon 10X in 2025.

The Falcon 6X’s journey to operational status was marked by its receipt of type certification from both the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in August 2023. This certification was a culmination of an extensive test campaign that spanned over two years, involving more than 1,500 flight hours logged worldwide.

This state-of-the-art aircraft began flying for its inaugural customer on November 30, 2023. While the identity of the launch customer remains undisclosed, the significance of this event is clear: the Falcon 6X represents a new standard in long-range business jets. It’s known for its spacious cabin, the widest in its class, and advanced technological features. The aircraft boasts a range of 5,500 nautical miles and is powered by efficient Pratt & Whitney PW812D engines.

The Falcon 6X’s entry into service is a testament to Dassault Aviation’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the aviation sector. With a century-long history of delivering over 10,000 military and civil aircraft in more than 90 countries, Dassault Aviation continues to reinforce its global reputation with the introduction of the Falcon 6X.
