Washington DC groups of ten or more on a long trip, such as a board heading to California or relatives going to a family wedding in Europe, are the reason heavy jets exist.

Why the Dassault Falcon 900LX Fits Washington DC
With 4,750 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Washington Dulles and destinations such as Dallas, Aruba and Geneva, allowing for reserves and routing. On a cold winter morning in Washington, DC the aircraft may need de-icing before it leaves, which adds time, and your advisor will warn you when the forecast points that way.
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 900LX
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.
