How Much Do Dassault Falcon Jets Cost?

Dassault publishes no price list. The trade press reports a Falcon 2000S at $28.8 million and a Falcon 8X at $62.5 million. The register shows 1,458 valid US registrations, owned by companies and LLCs, and the export file shows where used Falcons go.

Dassault does not publish a price list for the Falcon. The trade press reports a Falcon 2000S at $28.8 million, a Falcon 900LX at $44.7 million and a Falcon 8X at $62.5 million, and those figures come from handbooks of different years. The US register holds 1,458 valid Falcons, and the pattern is clear: Falcons are owned by companies and LLCs, almost never by individuals, and almost never as shared ownership.

This page lays out the reported prices with their dates, then looks at the Falcon fleet the way the registry sees it: the families, the owners, where used jets go, and the carbon bill per flight hour.

Dated figures from three different years

Dassault gives no public price for a Falcon, so the numbers that exist come from trade-press tables. Business & Commercial Aviation's Purchase Planning Handbook lists a typically equipped price for each model, and the original sits behind a paywall that we did not open. We read the figures as reported by other aviation sites and name the original and the year beside each.

Dassault publishes no price list. These are dated reported figures, not quotes, and the editions differ by year, so compare within a model rather than across them.

The ladder runs from the Falcon 2000S at $28.8 million in 2021 up through the Falcon 2000LXS at $36 million, the Falcon 900LX at $44.7 million, the Falcon 7X at $54.2 million and the Falcon 8X at $62.5 million. The Falcon 6X, which is newer, was reported at $54 million in 2023.

Two comparisons stand out. The 8X was reported at 1.15 times the 7X in the same 2022 handbook. And the Falcon 2000LXS was reported at 1.25 times the 2000S, although the two figures are two years apart, so the gap mixes model and year.

What Dassault and the trade press have said about volume

Business & Commercial Aviation reported 675 Falcon 2000 aircraft built as of October 2022. The Falcon 900 family passed 500 deliveries in 2012. The Falcon 7X reached 289 built by early 2020, and the first Falcon 8X was delivered on 5 October 2016.

One incident belongs in the record. On 24 May 2011 a Falcon 7X suffered an uncontrolled pitch-trim runaway on descent. The French investigator BEA published its final report in June 2016.

The 2000 family is the biggest

The FAA register lists 1,464 Falcons, and 1,458 of them (99.6%) hold a valid registration. The register groups them by certificate label, so the Falcon 8X sits inside the 7X group where the two are not separated.

The Falcon 2000 family accounts for 33% of valid registrations. The median valid Falcon was built in 2003, and 57.1% of those with a usable build year were built before 2006.

Owners are companies. Limited liability companies hold 882 valid registrations (60.5%) and corporations hold 474 (32.5%). Individuals hold only 13 (0.9%). The register flags just 9 Falcons as fractional-ownership aircraft (0.6%) and matches none to a named fractional operator.

Utah leads the registration states with 158, followed by Delaware (146), Texas (136) and Florida (133). The state on the register is the registrant's address, not where the jet is based.

Accept four-digit years from each configured conservative lower bound, 1900, through the snapshot year. Zero, blank, malformed and future years are excluded and counted. This validates calendar plausibility, not historical production. Exact models sharing a designation are not split by year. Sort valid recorded build years. Use linear interpolation at positions (n-1) times 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75. Age uses snapshot calendar year minus build year. Shares before 2006 and before 2016 divide by the validated-year count; unknown years are reported separately.

Where used Falcons go

The FAA's deregistration file shows how many Falcons leave the US register for another country. Since 2010, 206 cancellations carry an export country. Canada leads with 45, followed by Brazil (28), San Marino (17) and Mexico (13). France receives 9.

The median age at export is 16 years, measured as the cancellation year minus the build year. Falcons that leave the US register tend to be mature jets. The file does not give reasons.

A nonblank EXP-COUNTRY is the only explicit export indicator supplied. Count those rows as recorded export-country cancellations. Keep all other cancellations and status codes separately. Country labels are retained as FAA recorded, including truncated labels. The registration status does not encode cancellation reason. Do not infer destruction, sale abroad or domestic retention from a missing country.

Count DEREG records whose included model code and usable cancellation date fall in calendar years 2010 through 2025 inclusive. This is a snapshot of cancellations, not a complete historical export flow or a unique worldwide airframe count. Each record is counted once. No serial or registration identifier is decoded for deduplication. A nonblank EXP-COUNTRY is the only explicit export indicator supplied. Count those rows as recorded export-country cancellations. Keep all other cancellations and status codes separately. Country labels are retained as FAA recorded, including truncated labels. The registration status does not encode cancellation reason. Do not infer destruction, sale abroad or domestic retention from a missing country.

Cancellation year minus YEAR-MFR for export-country rows with four-digit build years from the configured lower bound through the cancellation year. Report unknown or invalid ages separately. Median uses the same linear interpolation. The supplied DEREG layout has no cancellation-reason field. Its status is registration status, not an export or destruction code. Destruction and sales abroad without a country cannot be identified. Expired-status cancellations can be counted by status; missing-country rows are not assumed domestic.

One Falcon hour is most of a car-year

The listed burn for a Falcon 2000 is 287 US gal per hour, and for a Falcon 7X it is 385 US gal per hour. The figures are average burns published by Conklin & de Decker, as listed by Private Jet Card Comparisons, which gives no data date. They assume two pilots and four passengers. There is no listed burn for the 6X or 8X.

Multiply by the US EPA's jet fuel emission factor of 9.75 kg CO2 per US gal and an hour in a Falcon 2000 releases 2.79825 tonnes CO2 per hour, which is 0.65 of a car-year at the EPA figure of 4.29 tonnes CO2 per year. An hour in a Falcon 7X releases 3.75375 tonnes CO2 per hour, 0.88 of one. Pick a model below and enter your own hours.

These are combustion emissions only. They exclude fuel production and the burn varies with load, weather and route.

Charter or own

We publish no hourly cost for a Falcon. No maker or regulator gives one, and many online estimates come with no source. What we can offer is the arithmetic. If you are weighing a Falcon against a rival, our guide to what Bombardier jets cost and our look at Gulfstream pricing cover the same questions.

Owning has a fixed bill that arrives whatever you fly, plus a cost for each hour. Chartering has only the hourly rate. The break-even is the number of hours where the two cross. Enter your own quotes below. Nothing is pre-filled, because a made-up default would only give you a confident wrong answer.

Well below the break-even, charter is cheaper. Well above it, owning wins. In between, it comes down to how much you value having the jet ready when you are.

What the NTSB files hold

Every NTSB entry is a real event, and the counts are all this page claims to know. The NTSB lists 29 accidents involving Falcons from 2000 through 2025. Of those, 6 were fatal, with 19 deaths in total.

What to take from the numbers

  • There is no price list. The reported figures run from $28.8 million for a Falcon 2000S to $62.5 million for a Falcon 8X, each tied to a year.
  • Expect a company. Only 13 valid registrations are held by individuals.
  • Fractional is rare here. The register flags 9 valid Falcons as fractional.
  • The 2000 family is the common one. It holds 482 valid registrations.
  • Use your own numbers. The break-even tool takes your quotes, not ours.
