A heavy jet out of Washington DC lets a big party travel together, with real seats, a galley and a hold that takes everyone’s luggage.

Why the Dassault Falcon 900 Fits Washington DC
With 4,000 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Washington Dulles and destinations such as Nassau, San Juan and London, allowing for reserves and routing. An international trip home can clear US Customs at Dulles, BWI Marshall, Washington Manassas or Leesburg Executive, so your advisor can plan the arrival at the one closest to you.
Most aircraft this size fly from Washington Dulles International, which is open around the clock and has US Customs, and the operator confirms the airport for your trip. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator ahead of the trip.
How Washington DC Clients Use the Dassault Falcon 900
Many heavy jets are laid out in zones, so one part of the group can work at a table while another eats or sleeps.
Give us the destination, the passenger count and a rough idea of the luggage, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft suits the trip or point you to one that does it better.

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.
