Le nouveau Dassault Falcon 8X agréé pour le London City Airport
A true flagship of the Dassault fleet, the Falcon 8X, a very long-range trijet, has obtained approval to operate on the London City Airport, one of the most difficult airports in the world.
With a range of 11,945 km, the Falcon 8X is the longest-range model of the manufacturer and allows to reach Los Angeles or Hong Kong to London without stopovers.
Dassault Aviation is the only business aircraft manufacturer with the entire fleet in production authorized to operate at this airport, including the Falcon 7X and 900LX trijet and the 2000S / LXS jets. Located in the heart of the London business district, the London City Airport has one of the most restricted approach profiles and one of the strictest sound regulations in the aviation industry.
"This aircraft's ability to land and take off from London City, as well as other hard-to-reach airports, allows our customers to measure flexibility and operational strength," said Eric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation. He adds, "Airport performance is one of the flagship design priorities of Dassault Falcon."
Featuring superior short track capabilities, the Falcon 8X boasts a unique digital flight control system, a silent cab and a range of unmatched configurations within the aviation industry. Combined with the new Dassault FalconEye combined vision system, the first head-up display system, the crew has enhanced synthetic features.
