A heavy jet gives Bahamas travelers separate cabin zones, which matters once the sector runs past five hours. The Falcon 900 is one of the larger cabins we put in front of Bahamas groups before the trip moves to airliner-size.
Dassault Aviation introduced the Falcon 900 in 1986. Cabins are typically fitted with a fully enclosed lavatory, though this varies by airframe and we confirm the specifics before quoting. Full specifications for the Falcon 900 are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Falcon 900 Fits the Bahamas
Nassau and Freeport handle aircraft of this size without qualification.
Separate cabin zones let a group work, eat and sleep without disturbing each other.
On the published 4,000 nautical miles of range, allowing for winds and reserves, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles sit inside a nonstop leg from Nassau. Real-world range moves with payload, temperature, and winds, so the operator checks it against your specific trip.

- 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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
