Global Expansion Continues For Falcon 8X The Dassault Falcon 8X is spreading its wings into all the major global markets the French executive jet airframer affirmed at the recently concluded NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas, Nevada. With recent deliveries to China and Russia, the new Falcon 8X ultra-long range trijet is now in service in all major markets around the world. This is good for them especially against the background of their Falcon 5X not managing to make fast-enough developmental progress regarding Safran engine issues. Since its (Falcon 8X ) service introduction one year ago, the 8X has been delivered to customers throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, Russia, South America, the Middle East and Asia.
The aircraft’s lightweight, cost-efficient design, inherited from the 7X, allows operators to save money on fuel and operating costs, another strong asset. The maximum take-off weight of the 8X is 73,000 pounds, compared to about 100,000 pounds for other aircraft in its class. In Russia and Brazil, two areas where Falcons -in particular the Falcon 7X - have long enjoyed a strong market presence, multiple Falcon 8X’s are already in service.
