Dassault Shows Falcon 6X & 8X at Dubai Airshow
Dassault Aviation is using the Dubai Airshow floor to spotlight two Falcons that target comfort and range for global business flyers.
On display are the Falcon 6X and Falcon 8X from Dassault Aviation, a French business‑jet maker. The manufacturer is emphasising the Falcon 6X’s roomy in‑flight cabin and the Falcon 8X’s ultra‑long‑range performance to appeal to Western and international corporate and charter operators.
Falcon 6X cabin and Falcon 8X range
The Falcon 6X touts the largest cabin cross‑section in its class, giving operators more headroom and sidewall space for lounge‑style layouts. The Falcon 8X, meanwhile, is positioned as an ultra‑long‑range tri‑jet capable of nonstop transoceanic sectors typically required by VIP and corporate missions. Dassault aims to convert show interest into firm orders and options.
- Falcon 6X: class‑leading cabin cross‑section for wider layouts and better comfort.
- Falcon 8X: ultra‑long‑range tri‑jet for long non‑stop missions.
- Target markets: Western corporate fleets, charter operators, and high‑net‑worth individuals seeking global reach.
Dassault’s booth presence at the Dubai Airshow is as much commercial as technical: the manufacturer wants to reinforce its position in the high‑end business‑jet segment and to remind buyers of its long history in bespoke, mission‑flexible jets. The display lets customers inspect cabin mockups, review options for interiors and connectivity, and discuss aftermarket support and global service networks.
While the company hasn’t disclosed order announcements tied specifically to the show in the provided brief, aviation buyers often use major events like Dubai to finalise deals or sign letters of intent. For Dassault, visibility in the Middle East—where long‑range and high‑comfort missions are in demand—helps sustain sales momentum against rivals in business aviation.
