The Dassault Falcon 2000S entered service in 2013 as the short-airfield specialist of the Falcon 2000 family, certified for steep approach operations including London City Airport, the only large-cabin jet to achieve this certification at the time. Powered by the same CFM56-B3 engines as the 2000LXS, the 2000S offers 3,350 nm range and carries 10 passengers in the acclaimed Falcon cabin, with EASy II avionics.
Up front the Falcon 2000S carries Honeywell Primus Epic EASy II (three 15" displays), whose situational awareness and automation translate into smoother, quieter, more precise flying for everyone in the cabin. Modern flight management also unlocks the steep, satellite-guided approaches that get the aircraft into demanding airports. Good avionics rarely make the brochure, yet passengers feel them on every leg.
Reliability is why we place clients on the Falcon 2000S: powered by 2× Snecma CFM56-B3 (13,800 lbf each), it is a mature, well-supported design, and the smoothest charter is always the one that leaves on schedule. Redundant systems and a deep global spares network keep aircraft-on-ground surprises rare. When a trip has to happen, the aircraft is the sort of aircraft you bet on.
There is prestige in the Falcon 2000S that goes beyond the badge: a Dassault aircraft with a following among owners who could fly anything, a quiet marker of arrival for charter clients who notice such things. A large in-service fleet also keeps parts and expertise close at hand worldwide. Provenance like that is reassurance you can feel boarding the type.
As a super midsize jet the Falcon 2000S reaches thousands of smaller, more convenient airfields, landing far closer to where you are actually going than the big hubs and cutting the drive at the far end. Balanced field length and strong brakes let it use runways the airlines cannot sell a ticket into. On a point-to-point charter this super midsize jet can turn a two-hour transfer into a fifteen-minute one.
The Falcon 2000S is efficient over the sectors it flies most, and lower fuel burn and running costs feed straight into a keener charter price, especially on a well-timed one-way or empty-leg booking. You get the cabin and the range without paying to move a larger, thirstier jet. For value per mile, this super midsize jet is one of the smarter picks in its class.
The part enthusiasts single out: The 2000S added high-Mach blended winglets and leading-edge slats, giving a transatlantic Falcon the short-field manners of a much smaller jet. Knowing the story tends to make the flight more enjoyable.
Where the Falcon 2000S asks a compromise on charter:
The Falcon 2000S sits at the sharper end of its category on price, a reflection of its cabin, reputation and capability. Where budget is the single deciding factor a smaller or slightly older type can charter for less, and our advisors will say so plainly when it is the smarter call.
If outright top speed or the newest cabin technology is your single priority, a more recent design may edge it, yet for most travellers the Falcon 2000S balance of comfort, capability and value is the more meaningful advantage on the day.
As alternatives to the Falcon 2000S, it is worth weighing the Falcon 2000LXS and the Falcon 900, both able aircraft in the same bracket. Broadly the Falcon 2000LXS offers the newer cabin, while the Falcon 2000S holds the lower operating cost per hour, so the right pick comes down to your exact route, party and budget, which our advisors are glad to lay out side by side.
In short, few aircraft do transcontinental charter as gracefully as the Falcon 2000S, and where it is the right tool we place it on fully vetted, certified partners at a fixed all-in price, with an answer back inside 30 minutes.
