Dassault Falcon 8x Charter Bahamas

Bahamas clients flying a very long way, whether from Europe or the far side of the country, choose a long range jet for the range and the cabin.

Dassault introduced the Falcon 8x in 2016. It seats 12 to 16 with a published range of 6,450 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.80 (~459 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, 140 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Falcon 8x Fits the Bahamas

With 6,450 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Nassau and cities such as Denver, Madrid and Paris, allowing for reserves and routing. Winter and spring are the busiest seasons in the Bahamas, and the holidays book up first, so call early for those dates.

Larger aircraft usually fly into Nassau or Grand Bahama, and Nassau is open around the clock, while the operator confirms which Bahamas airport suits the aircraft on the day. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator for your trip.

How Bahamas Clients Use the Falcon 8x

These cabins have beds or flat seats, so overnight crossings between Europe and the islands end with passengers who have actually slept. Let us know each passenger’s nationality early, because it can affect the routing.

Name the island, the head count and the gear (coolers, rods and dive tanks count), and your advisor will check this aircraft against the trip or put a better match in front of you.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
