Cabin and performance
- Category — Large-cabin midsize jet
- Typical charter seating — 8 to 10
- Published maximum range — 4,000 nm published
- Cabin height — 6 ft 2 in
- Cabin width — 7 ft 8 in

The Falcon 2000LXS in service
The 2000LXS combines a large-cabin cross-section with short-field performance, which makes it useful on Gulf-to-Mediterranean and Gulf-to-Caucasus legs where a runway or a slot restricts the alternatives.
It is one of the more common wide-cabin types available regionally, and often the pragmatic answer when a client wants a large cabin without ultra-long-range pricing.
Missions the type is used for
- Gulf to Europe with a wide cabin at midsize cost
- Access to shorter runways than most large-cabin twins
Route examples that suit its legs
- Bahrain to Nice
- Dubai to Tbilisi
- Riyadh to Amman
Where these figures come from
All figures above are the manufacturer's published maximum values and vary by serial number, interior configuration and operating conditions. Source: https://www.dassaultfalcon.com/aircraft/falcon-2000lxs/. MEGA does not manufacture or represent any airframer; aircraft are arranged through registered third-party operators and availability is confirmed per aircraft and per date.
How the large-cabin midsize jet class flies
Midsize jets are the working answer to three to five hour sectors: a stand-up or near stand-up cabin, an enclosed lavatory, real baggage volume and enough range to cross a region without a fuel stop. For business travel with a small team and carry-on plus checked bags, this is usually where the compromise lands well.
Cabin dimensions, not range, tend to decide the choice inside this class. Sleeping is possible on a divan but not comfortable, and long overwater sectors are better placed on a heavy or ultra-long-range cabin.
Other Twins types
- Falcon 6X — In production: 5,500 nm published; tallest and widest current Falcon cabin
- Falcon 2000 / 2000EX — Out of production — still flying: Earlier 2000-series aircraft, common on charter
- Falcon 50EX — Out of production — still flying: Older trijet; ageing fleet, limited availability
Chartering the Falcon 2000LXS
Availability is the deciding factor on any specific type. The Falcon 2000LXS is arranged through registered third-party operators, so whether one can be placed on your trip depends on where an aircraft of that type is positioned, the crew's duty time, and whether the operator's approvals cover the airports and airspace involved. Where the type is not free, the desk offers the closest equivalent in the same class rather than holding a trip open.
Positioning, airport slots, handling, overnight crew costs and any de-icing or curfew constraints are priced into the quote rather than added afterwards, and every figure is confirmed against the actual aircraft and date before it is issued. We publish no rate for any type here, because an honest number depends on the aircraft, the routing and the day.
Frequently asked questions
How many passengers does the Falcon 2000LXS carry?
Typical charter seating is 8 to 10. The exact figure depends on the individual aircraft's interior, since operators configure cabins differently, and on baggage — a full cabin with heavy luggage can change what the aircraft can lift out of a given runway.
How far can the Falcon 2000LXS fly?
The published maximum range is 4,000 nm published, quoted by the manufacturer under ideal conditions with a defined payload. Real sector capability is shorter once passengers, baggage, winds, temperature and reserve fuel are applied, so the operations desk checks each leg against the specific aircraft rather than the brochure figure.
Is the Falcon 2000LXS still in production?
Production status: In production. Status matters for parts support, cabin technology and resale, and it is stated here so no one quotes or budgets against a type that has not entered service or is no longer built.
Does MEGA operate the Falcon 2000LXS?
No. MEGA arranges flights on aircraft operated by licensed third-party operators holding their own air operator certificates. Safety ratings such as ARGUS, IS-BAO or Wyvern are held by the relevant operator and applicability varies by aircraft and operator.
