Falcon 7X Fleet Leader Passes 2,000 Flight Hours

Approaching One Million Nautical Miles

Falcon 7X s/n 04 recently passed the 2,000 flight hour mark, making it the leader of the Falcon 7X fleet.  The aircraft entered service in July, 2007 and is operated by Dasnair in Geneva, Switzerland.

During its first 24 months in service, the aircraft has carried over 2,100 passengers and made 543 stops in 73 countries.  It’s landed at several challenging airports such as Saint- Moritz, in Switzerland and La Môle in southern France. This Falcon 7X is now the fleet leader having flown over 800,000 nautical miles.  The longest flight for the aircraft, 12 hours and 19 minutes, was on April 16, 2009 from Pise, Italy to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

"The Falcon 7X has been well received by our customers who have experienced the superior comfort of its wide and bright cabin,” declared Angelo Conti, Managing Director of Dasnair. 

The Falcon 7X has the longest range of any Falcon business jet. Special attention was given to enhancing its cabin comfort for flights lasting up to 13 hours. Since its entry into service in 2007, the 7X cabin has set a new standard for business jets.  Its cabin has 28 windows which are 10% bigger than previous Falcons. It also features a low in flight cabin altitude of 6,000 feet, even while flying at 51,000 feet, and an advanced temperature control system that maintains the environment to within one degree throughout the entire cabin. The 7X is also praised by its passengers for its "library quiet" cabin which is the result of breakthroughs in design, materials and cushioned engine mounts.

“Our operators tell us that they are very pleased with the availability of the aircraft. Most of the fleet frequently performs long range missions, most recently one of our operator reported that they flew at mach .80 from London to Singapore in 13h14min and landed with 2300lbs,” said Jacques Chauvet, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Customer Service.
