Overview
The Dassault Falcon 900EX is a large-cabin trijet distinguished by its three-engine reliability, excellent hot-and-high performance and the ability to use shorter runways than most jets its size. Seating up to twelve, it offers intercontinental range with the ruggedness and short-field access that suit challenging African airports. For demanding long-range missions that also require airport flexibility, the Falcon 900EX is exceptionally capable.

Detailed specifications
Falcon 900EX charter cost per hour
Our 2026 planning rate for the Falcon 900EX is about US$ 9,500 per flight hour. That hourly rate is only part of a charter price. The operator also bills the time spent flying the aircraft in from its base and back again, airport, handling and navigation fees, crew overnights on multi-day trips and, on short sectors, a daily minimum — so a one-hour flight rarely costs one hour’s rate. A route search prices the full rotation for the Falcon 900EX, positioning included, next to every other aircraft that can fly it.
Chartering the Falcon 900EX in Africa
For charter across Africa, the Falcon 900EX is typically positioned from its home base to your departure airport, flown to your destination, and returned afterwards — the estimate you see on a route search already accounts for this full rotation. Whether it suits a given trip depends on the runway at each end, the distance, and how many seats you need. Search any route to see a live estimate for the Falcon 900EX alongside every other aircraft that can fly it, then send an enquiry to have operators confirm the exact price.
Images are representative of the aircraft type — the actual aircraft, cabin layout and interior finish depend on the operating carrier. Specifications are typical planning figures for charter use and vary by individual aircraft configuration. Charter prices are computed estimates confirmed by the operating carrier through the inquiry process.
