Dassault Falcon 50 Private Jet Charter

About the Dassault Falcon 50

Every Falcon trijet flying today descends from one decision made in Saint-Cloud in the mid-1970s: to put three engines on a business jet so it could cross the Atlantic when twins legally and practically could not. The Falcon 50, first delivered in 1979, was that decision made metal — the original business trijet, and one of the most consequential designs in the industry's history.

The engineering was radical for its day. Dassault gave the 50 an area-ruled fuselage and a then-new supercritical wing — technology borrowed from the transonic frontier — letting it cruise at 1,022 km/h across 5,556 km, numbers that embarrassed contemporaries and still serve today's missions: Paris to Dubai with a stop, all of Europe and the Mediterranean non-stop, ten passengers aboard.

Four decades on, the Falcon 50 occupies a singular spot in the charter market. At around €8,500 per flight hour it delivers trijet oceanic confidence, the airport agility the configuration allows, and genuinely intercontinental-adjacent range — at super-midsize money. Airframes maintained to Dassault standards age like the military jets the company also builds; the surviving fleet flies hard and well. For clients who appreciate machines with provenance, this is the one the whole dynasty came from.

Performance Excellence

Ten passengers, 5,556 km, 1,022 km/h — figures that made the Falcon 50 a sensation in 1979 and keep it relevant today. Three Honeywell TFE731 engines provide the oceanic and mountain redundancy that defined the configuration, while the supercritical wing — among the first on any civil aircraft — delivers cruise efficiency that newer twins needed decades to match. Field performance opens short and challenging strips, an inheritance every later trijet Falcon refined. The 50EX successor extended the formula; the original remains the better value: at roughly €8,500 per flight hour, the Falcon 50 prices like a super-midsize while flying with three engines and a bloodline — the founding document of the trijet idea, still in service.

Cabin Comfort

The Falcon 50 cabin established proportions its descendants still follow: a centre cross-section wide enough for genuine three-zone living in a compact airframe, arranged classically as a forward club, central four-place grouping, and an aft pair with divan options. Up to ten passengers travel in a cabin whose dimensions were a generation ahead of its 1979 contemporaries — which is why it still works without apology today.

Most charter examples have been refurbished, many repeatedly, and a well-kept Falcon 50 interior — new leather, modern lighting, current connectivity — reads as a contemporary cabin in a classic shell. The aft lavatory is fully enclosed, the galley supports hot service across the type's five-hour legs, and baggage rides in a proper externally serviced hold. The acoustic character benefits from the centre engine's placement well aft of the cabin. What passengers consistently remark on is the build: doors that close like vault doors, panels that have not loosened in forty years. They built it as if they knew the type would still be working in another century. It is.

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.
