Super midsize jets handle the Houston trips that need coast-to-coast range with a cabin people can actually work in. The Falcon 50 suits a full working group rather than a couple of executives.
Dassault Aviation introduced the Falcon 50 in 1979. Cabins are typically fitted with a fully enclosed lavatory, though this varies by airframe and we confirm the specifics before quoting. It is used out of Houston partly because it can carry more baggage than most of its class. Full specifications for the Falcon 50 are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Falcon 50 Fits Houston
For energy travel from Houston into South America, it reaches the northern half of the continent without a stop.
At 3,075 nautical miles published, and allowing for reserves, a Houston departure reaches Los Angeles, New York, and Bogota without a stop. How much you are carrying and what the winds are doing will move that, which the operator calculates per trip.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- 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.
