Can a private jet redefine business aviation? Dassault Aviation believes its Falcon 6X can, at least in Asia. The ultra-widebody business jet made its debut at Bordeaux-Merignac in December 2020.
The Falcon 6X’s debut comes nearly three years after designs were first unveiled in 2018. Since then, excitement has built up, especially since a mock-up of the aircraft made its Asia debut at the Singapore Airshow just a year ago.
The introduction of Falcon 6X comes at an opportune time. While airlines have suffered because of the pandemic, private aviation companies have witnessed an increase in ownership because of the convenience that these jets offer. It isn’t just about eliminating the hassle of changed flight frequencies and networks; flying private also saves owners as many as 680 person-to-person touchpoints, a number one would only be more than happy to cut in the current climate.
