About the Dassault Falcon 8X
The Dassault Falcon 8X is a tri-engine, ultra-long-range business jet produced since 2016, the flagship of the Dassault Falcon family. Seating up to 16 passengers, the Falcon 8X cruises at 481 knots with an extraordinary range of 6,450 nautical miles, powered by three Pratt and Whitney Canada PW307D engines. The three-engine configuration provides unique safety margins and access to airports with steep approaches that twin-engine jets cannot serve.
With fuel burn of approximately 250 gallons per hour, variable hourly costs around $4,800, and annual fixed costs near $800,000, the Falcon 8X offers competitive operating economics for the ultra-long-range category, partly due to its three smaller engines burning less total fuel than many twin-engine competitors at similar ranges.
The Falcon 8X appeals to multinational corporations, heads of state, and high-net-worth individuals who demand true global range combined with the ability to access challenging airports like London City, Lugano, and Aspen. Dassaults military aviation heritage translates into exceptional build quality and systems redundancy. The Falcon 8X competes with the Gulfstream G650 and Bombardier Global 7500, distinguishing itself through fuel efficiency, short-field performance, and the operational flexibility of its three-engine design.

Buying a Used Dassault Falcon 8X
Buying a Dassault Falcon 8X is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.
What to check before buying
- Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
- Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
- Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
- Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
- Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.
