Airlines that use it
The Dassault Falcon 8X is a business jet, not a commercial airliner, so it is not used by airlines for scheduled passenger service. The aircraft is operated by private jet charter companies, fractional ownership programs, corporations, and wealthy individuals for long-range, on-demand flights.Operators using the Falcon 8X
Instead of airlines, the Falcon 8X is used by these types of operators:
Private jet charter companies: Many charter operators, such as Monarch Air Group, Cielo Aviation, and Linkinjet, offer the Falcon 8X for hire.
Aviation services companies: Companies that specialize in aircraft management and charter, like Heron Aviation, operate the Falcon 8X on behalf of its owners.
Corporate flight departments: Large corporations may operate a Falcon 8X to fly their executives and other key personnel. For example, Dassault Falcon Service has operated an 8X for a major French company.
Government and military: Germany’s Luftwaffe, for instance, uses the Falcon 8X to transport government officials. France also has plans to acquire a military version for electronic surveillance.
Fractional ownership providers: Companies that sell shares of private aircraft to individuals and corporations use the Falcon 8X in their fleets.
Why it is not an airliner
The Falcon 8X is not suited for typical airline operations because:
It is designed for private travel: The aircraft features a spacious, luxurious cabin with a variety of customizable layouts for up to 16 passengers, a stark contrast to the seating of a commercial airliner.
It has a longer-range capability: The 8X is built to fly ultra-long-range distances non-stop, such as Paris to Singapore or Beijing to New York, to serve the specific needs of executive and VIP travelers.
It accesses smaller airports: The aircraft is able to land on shorter runways than many larger jets, allowing it to access smaller, more convenient airports that are not served by major airlines.
