SPACIOUS, STYLISH, LIGHT-FILLED AND ASTONISHINGLY QUIET, THE LARGE-BODY CABIN OF THE FALCON 2000LXS IS GENEROUS AND LUXURIOUS IN EVERY WAY, ENSURING PASSENGERS SUPERIOR COMFORT ON FLIGHTS OF ANY LENGTH

The Falcon 2000LXS was launched in October 2012 during the NBAA convention in Orlando. Thanks to its full span slats, optimised aerodynamics and advanced acoustics, it offers the ultimate combination of airfield agility, fuel efficiency and quiet, widebody comfort.

In the realm of business aviation, where precision and luxury intertwine, the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS stands tall as a symbol of unmatched elegance and efficiency. Designed by the storied French aerospace company Dassault Aviation, the Falcon 2000LXS displays commitment to performance. Capable of flying direct from New York to Anchorage or Berlin; from Dubai to London City Airport or from Beijing to Mumbai. The Falcon 2000LXS received its European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)/ Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certifications in early April 2013.

Close to 600 Falcon 2000 series aircraft are in service today, praised for their robustness and reliability, remarkable costeffectiveness and unmatched performance. With more range, more payload, superior mission flexibility and lower operating costs, it’s the worldwide leader in its class.

The Falcon 2000LXS offers a 4,000 nm range, unrivaled efficiency and the ability to access short and challenging runways other jets run away from. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines, this aircraft is a marvel of engineering, reaching a top speed of 0.86 Mach. The versatility to connect key business hubs nonstop opens up a world of possibilities for global executives.

PW308C engines incorporating advanced technology for increased durability, lower operating costs and emissions, helping the aircraft burn up to 20 per cent less fuel than competitors. It’s tailor-made for the Falcon 2000LXS, complementing the plane’s superior aerodynamics with excellent fuel efficiency and dramatically lower emissions.

SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE SKY JOURNEYS

In the era of conscious aviation, the Falcon 2000LXS is compatible with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Being fuel-efficient, it makes way for reduced fuel consumption that further translates not only to cost savings for operators but also to a smaller carbon footprint.

Safety is the cornerstone of the Falcon 2000LXS. Its comprehensive safety features, including the FalconEye Combined Vision System, contribute to an environment where passengers and crew can travel with absolute confidence. The aircraft’s advanced systems provide pilots with unparalleled situational awareness, ensuring a safe and secure journey every time.

The Falcon 2000LXS comes with a worldwide support network, including FalconResponse, a suite of Aircraft On Ground (AOG) services committed to quickly returning a grounded Falcon back into operation. Dedicated FalconResponse aircraft can also provide alternative passenger lift if necessary—an industry first. Another exclusive service, FalconCare, is the industry’s most complete Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) maintenance program, helping operators maintain stable, predictable costs.

FALCON 2000 SERIES AIRCRAFT ARE PRAISED FOR THEIR ROBUSTNESS AND RELIABILITY, REMARKABLE COST-EFFECTIVENESS AND UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE. WITH MORE RANGE, MORE PAYLOAD, SUPERIOR MISSION FLEXIBILITY AND LOWER OPERATING COSTS, IT’S THE WORLDWIDE LEADER IN ITS CLASS.

The 2000LXS can be configured with Dassault’s awardwinning Combined Vision System, FalconEye, which provides flight crews unprecedented situational awareness in all weather conditions, day or night. FalconEye provides guidance on approaches down to 100 feet before the runway is sighted.

It is also equipped with FalconSphere, Dassault’s Electronic Flight Bag, an all-in-one suite of features and apps that allow pilots and flight operations groups to prepare and manage missions with greater ease and precision.
