Heavy jet charter out of Houston covers the long international energy routes and the full-cabin corporate trips. The Falcon 2000 suits a full working group rather than a couple of executives.
Dassault Aviation introduced the Falcon 2000 in 1995. Cabins are typically fitted with notably low cabin noise and a galley, though this varies by airframe and we confirm the specifics before quoting. It is used out of Houston partly because it can work short runways. Full specifications for the Falcon 2000 are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Falcon 2000 Fits Houston
It handles Houston to Europe and to most of South America nonstop with a full cabin, which is the requirement most energy trips start from.
Working from the published 3,052 nautical miles and leaving margin for wind and reserves, Los Angeles, New York, and Bogota are reachable nonstop from Houston. The operator’s own performance figures for the day are what actually govern this, not the brochure range.

- 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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
