The large-cabin Dassault Falcon 6X received FAA and EASA certification today, in line with the French aircraft manufacturer’s target earlier this year of mid-2023 service entry. These certifications conclude a more than two-year-long test campaign during which 1,500 flight hours were logged by three flight-test airplanes. The first Falcon 6Xs that will be handed over to customers are undergoing final completion, according to Dassault.

“Certification of the Falcon 6X is a remarkable milestone for Dassault Aviation,” said Dassault Aviation chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. “We would like to recognize 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.”
