Since the Dassault Falcon 6X entered service on November 30, the company's demo aircraft has been busy touring the world. By the end of April, Falcon 6X S/N 004—registered as F-WSUP—had logged approximately 500 flight hours and operated close to 300 flights across Europe, North and South America, and Asia-Pacific.

The widebody business jet flew in the U.S. and Brazil earlier this month and is being showcased this week at EBACE 2024 alongside a Falcon 8X and a mock-up of the in-development Falcon 10X.
