Dassault Falcon 2000LXS: Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, in production since 2014, is Dassault's flagship super-midsize/midsize widebody business jet, representing "the best of the best" in the Falcon 2000 series (over 550 delivered to date). The 2000LXS is positioned as a widebody intercontinental jet with the economy and agility of a midsize jet, combining the widebody cross-section of larger Falcons (including the top-of-line 7X and 8X) with 4,000 nm range, unrivaled operating efficiency, and steep approach capability to airports like London City and Lugano. The aircraft replaced the long-range 2000LX in Dassault's product line, with EASA certification on March 19, 2013, and market entry in 2014. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofan engines producing 7,000 lbf each (with Talon II combustors reducing NOx emissions by 20%), the 2000LXS delivers 483 ktas (Mach 0.86) max cruise speed, 4,000 nm NBAA IFR range, and a 47,000 ft service ceiling. The aircraft is operated by two pilots with cabin seating for up to 10 passengers in a 7 ft 8 in wide, 6 ft 2 in stand-up flat floor cabin. Honeywell EASy II flight deck (Dassault's previous-generation flight deck technology) provides modern integrated avionics. Current list price (Q2 2025): $35.1 million. 96 units built; 89 in operation as of 2025.
For operators wanting widebody cabin comfort with intercontinental range, steep approach capability, and Dassault's military-derived robust airframe at competitive pricing vs ultra-long-range competitors, the Falcon 2000LXS represents the worldwide leader in its class.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Falcon 2000LXS different from the Falcon 2000LX?
The Falcon 2000LXS (2014) is the upgraded successor to the Falcon 2000LX (2007-2014). Same range (4,000 nm) and PW308C engines, but with key improvements: optimized full-span leading-edge slats (inboard + outboard), improved short-field performance, lower approach speed (194 vs 210 km/h), shorter landing distance (689 vs 800 m), Talon II combustor (20% lower NOx), EASy II avionics upgrade, quieter cabin (3 dB quieter), and modified weight envelope.
How is the Falcon 2000LXS different from the Falcon 2000S?
The Falcon 2000S is the shorter-range, short-field variant introduced in 2014. The 2000S has reduced fuel capacity (14,600 lb vs 2000LXS's 16,660 lb), reduced range (3,515 nm vs LXS's 4,000 nm), $5M less acquisition cost, and takeoff in 4,325 ft at sea level. The LXS is the long-range flagship of the family.
How far can a Falcon 2000LXS fly?
The Falcon 2000LXS has a maximum NBAA IFR range of 4,000 nautical miles, with some sources citing 4,065 nm. This range enables non-stop missions like Paris to New York and London to Dubai.
Is the Falcon 2000LXS single-pilot certified?
No. The Falcon 2000LXS requires two pilots.
What engines power the Falcon 2000LXS?
Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofan engines, each producing 7,000 lbf of thrust. The engines feature the new Talon II combustor for 20% lower NOx emissions.
What is FalconEye?
FalconEye is Dassault's combined vision system (CVS) that merges Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) into one harmonious heads-up display. It provides guidance on approaches down to 100 feet before the runway is sighted, significantly enhancing safety in all weather conditions.
Can the Falcon 2000LXS land at London City Airport?
Yes. The Falcon 2000LXS is certified for steep approach operations to airports like London City and Lugano, Switzerland. The aircraft's lower approach speed (194 km/h) and shorter landing distance (689 m, comparable to turboprop) enable these operations.
What is the Falcon 2000LXS's biggest advantage?
The Falcon 2000LXS's biggest combined advantage is "the economy and agility of a midsize jet" combined with "the widebody cross-section of larger Falcons" (including the 7X and 8X). The 7'8" cabin width is wider than most super-mid competitors. Combined with 4,000 nm range, steep approach capability, and ultra-short field landing distance (689 m), no other aircraft in its class matches the operational versatility.
The Bottom Line
The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is the worldwide leader in its class, delivering widebody cabin cross-section (7 ft 8 in cabin width - same as Falcon 7X/8X), 4,000 nm intercontinental range, steep approach capability (London City, Lugano), 47,000 ft service ceiling, and exceptional short-field performance with ultra-low approach speed (194 km/h) and 689 m landing distance. Powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines with the new Talon II combustor (20% lower NOx), the platform offers modern operating economics with $1.5M-$4.2M savings versus Challenger 605 and Gulfstream G450 competitors over 6 years (per Dassault). With 96 aircraft built and 89 in operation, the 2000LXS represents a proven Dassault platform with active production continuing in France and India production beginning 2028. At current list of $35.1M and pre-owned pricing of $25M-$32M, the 2000LXS offers exceptional value as the widebody super-mid alternative to ultra-long-range competitors.
