Falcon 2000LXS
Falcon 2000LXS at a glance
The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS flies 4,000 nautical miles nonstop, linking Paris and New York, and is the current version of the twin-engine Falcon 2000 family that has been in production since 1995 with more than 700 delivered. It entered service in 2014, pairing the 2000LX's winglets with improved short-field performance.
The 2000LXS sells on Falcon economics: Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines, approach speeds low enough for steep approaches into London City, and operating costs closer to a super-midsize jet than to the large-cabin class it belongs to by cabin size. It remains the entry point to the Falcon line while Dassault develops its successor.

Market position
The Falcon 2000LXS competes with the Challenger 650 on value and the Challenger 3500 on mission overlap, offering large-cabin volume at super-midsize operating cost, the aircraft's core argument for three decades. As Dassault concentrates investment on the 6X and 10X, the 2000LXS holds the line's entry point, selling to loyalists and special-mission buyers, including maritime-surveillance conversions for several governments.
Dassault Aviation, the family-controlled French manufacturer that builds the Rafale fighter alongside its Falcon line, assembles Falcons in Merignac near Bordeaux and completes many interiors in Little Rock, Arkansas.
