EASA and the FAA have issued the type certificate for Dassault's Falcon 6X following a more than two year test campaign during which 1,500 flight hours were logged worldwide. It is a significant step on the path to entry into service for the Falcon 6X, with the first units undergoing final completion.

“The certification of the Falcon 6X is a remarkable milestone for Dassault Aviation. We would like to recognise the EASA and FAA certification teams for their commitment in this demanding process and our customers for their confidence. The Falcon 6X is the first brand new business jet to comply with the latest regulations, which will enhance the safety and security of all new aircraft,” says chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. “The 5,500 nm/10,200 km Falcon 6X combines the best qualities of Dassault Aviation's business and fighter aircraft expertise to create the longest-range jet in its class, with unparalleled passenger comfort and maximum mission flexibility.”

The Falcon 6X has been recognised with Red Dot and the International Yacht & Aviation design awards.
