Dassault Falcon 2000 and 2000LX empty legs

The Falcon that gets used. Eleven operators publish its repositioning flights, none of them dominant, and the busiest pairing runs over the Rockies between Vancouver and Calgary.

Alberta and British Columbia, then Europe

Vancouver to Calgary and the return lead, with Palm Springs to Calgary the winter sun variation. The rest is a European scatter: Paris, Geneva, Nice, the Balearics. A good type to watch if your trips vary.

One page, three variants

The 2000, 2000EX and 2000LX share a fuselage and differ in range and engines; operators list all three names and often just say Falcon 2000, so we count them together. Prices appear on a minority of legs and notice is around ten days. Two engines rather than the 900's three, the same wide cabin. Specification: Falcon 2000LX specifications.

Dassault Falcon 2000 and 2000LX: specification and background

Dassault launched the Falcon 2000 in 1995 as a twin engine, shorter ranged companion to the trijet 900, keeping the same wide cabin cross section. The 2000EX of 2003 added PW308C engines and 3,800 nm; the 2000LX of 2007 added winglets and 4,000 nm; the LXS of 2014 added short field performance. Operators name the variants inconsistently and this site counts them together. One of the most widely held Falcons in charter service.
