Dassault Falcon 8X
Trijet efficiency: burns meaningfully less fuel than its two-engine rivals.
What you are paying for
The 8X is the efficiency play among ultra-long-haulers: three smaller engines and a fighter-derived wing burn meaningfully less fuel than the twin-engine competition on the same 6,000 nm mission, with operators reporting 15 to 20% savings. It also gets into airports the Gulfstreams and Globals cannot: London City, Aspen, Lugano. The cabin is the narrowest of the big three; the fuel card is the widest.

Typical pre-owned asks run EST $42M–$52M. Owning a Dassault Falcon 8X and flying it 200 hours a year models out to roughly $6.97M–$9.53M per year all-in: crew, hangar, insurance, maintenance programs, and depreciation included.

Alternatives worth pricing
- Gulfstream G550: Six-thousand-mile legs at pre-owned large-cabin money. The smart-money ULR.
- Bombardier Global 6000: The widest long-haul cabin of its generation; a favorite of heads of state.
- Gulfstream G650ER: Held the around-the-world speed record for a decade. Still the benchmark.
