Dassault Falcon 7X empty legs

An aircraft that can fly Paris to Tokyo, spending its empty legs on Paris to Brussels. The 7X on our board is a long range jet on short European repositions, and one of the few heavy types that sometimes shows a price.

The Benelux to Paris shuttle

Brussels to Paris, Paris to Brussels, Farnborough to Brussels. The 7X's empty legs are Northern European hops from a small number of operators, one of which supplies most of them. Anyone moving between Belgium, Paris and the London business airfields should watch it.

A price, sometimes

Unusually for a heavy jet here, a meaningful minority of 7X legs carry the operator's figure. Notice is short, under a week, and the listings stay up for a long time once published. The record block above has the current share and median.

Three engines

Dassault's trijet layout gives the 7X short field performance and a range that reaches most of the world non stop, in a cabin that seats a dozen. The 900 is its smaller predecessor and the 8X its longer legged successor. Specification: Falcon 7X range and configuration.

Dassault Falcon 7X: specification and background

The 7X of 2007 was the first business jet with digital fly by wire flight controls and the first Falcon with a new wing since the 1970s. Three Pratt & Whitney PW307A engines give it a 5,950 nm range and short field performance no twin of its size matches; the 8X of 2016 stretched it further. Nearly three hundred fly, many with European charter operators, and its Brussels to Paris habit on this board is a small use of a very capable aircraft.
