About the Dassault Falcon 20-C5

The Falcon 20-C5 is the payload-focused branch of the classic Mystère 20 family, brought up to date. The original Falcon 20C raised the maximum takeoff weight over the baseline aircraft, giving operators the margin to fill the cabin and the tanks together rather than trading one against the other — a meaningful gain for charter work with passengers and bags. The "-5" denotes the Garrett TFE731-5 re-engine that replaced the thirsty original turbojets with quiet, efficient, Stage-3-compliant turbofans, keeping the airframe viable. The result is a higher-capability Falcon 20 that flies 3,705 km at 969 km/h. It carries 8 passengers (up to 9), with around 5 in European charter. The 20-C5 is the workhorse Mystère 20: more weight-carrying margin, modern engines, the same well-built French cabin.

Performance Excellence

Two crew operate the Falcon 20-C5 across 3,705 km / 2,000 nm at up to 969 km/h (523 ktas) on retrofit Garrett TFE731-5 turbofans, the C-model's higher takeoff weight giving it the margin to carry full passengers and full fuel together. Around 5 examples serve European charter at roughly €4,500 per hour. Its case is payload capability: the raised gross weight that lets it fill the cabin without sacrificing range, paired with the modern, efficient engines of the TFE731 retrofit — the practical, weight-carrying member of the classic Falcon 20 family.

Cabin Comfort

The Falcon 20-C5's cabin is the classic Mystère 20 space — 5.20 m long, 1.80 m wide, 1.67 m tall — a cross-section that was notably wide for a 1960s midsize and remains comfortable for eight today. The C-model's raised takeoff weight is invisible from a seat, but its benefit shows in how the cabin gets used: because the aircraft can carry a full passenger load and full fuel together, operators rarely need to leave a seat empty or a bag behind to make the range, so the cabin is more often used to its full eight-seat capacity. The well-built French construction, the four large windows per side and the quiet of the TFE731 re-engine give it a solid, civilised character. It is the Falcon 20 cabin in its most practically usable form.

High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
