UAE Business: Dassault displays ultra-long range Falcon 8X at MEBAA – Gulf Digital News

Dassault Aviation, a leading aerospace company, is exhibiting its popular Falcon 8X very long range trijet at this year’s Mena Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) show and exhibition running from December 6-8 at DWC in Dubai.

“Operators in the Middle East highly value the performance, flexibility, robustness and technological excellence of large cabin models like the Falcon 8X, which draw heavily on decades of Dassault fighter aircraft experience,” said Dassault Aviation Chairman & CEO Eric Trappier. “This appreciation can only grow with the arrival of the new Falcon 6X and 10X, which will set a new standard in the large cabin segment.”

Large cabin Falcons like the 6,450 nm/11,945 km Falcon 8X make up a third of the 75 Falcons operating in the region. The Falcon 8X can fly nonstop from New York to Dubai, Dubai to Adelaide and Jeddah to Sao Paulo, yet easily access short runway airports like London City Airport or Lugano, Switzerland, that are typically off limits to big business jets.

The aircraft’s spacious cabin is the quietest of any business jet on the market and its revolutionary FalconEye dual Head-Up Display option allows low visibility approaches with 100-foot minima, providing customers a significant operational benefit and greatly improving access
