About the Dassault Falcon 50
The Falcon 50 introduced Dassault’s three-engine design, later refined in the Falcon 50EX with better engines and avionics.
Three engines let it fly routes over water and remote areas, and it uses shorter runways well.

Is the Falcon 50 Right for Your Trip?
Best For
- Trips of up to about 5.5 hours nonstop, such as Los Angeles to Aspen or New York to Miami
- Up to 9 passengers
- Eight to ten passengers
Keep in Mind
- New York to London is right at the edge of their range. Eastbound usually works nonstop; westbound into headwinds often needs a stop, so a heavy jet is the safer choice for Europe.
