France’s Dassault Aviation unveiled the Falcon 8X trijet as a larger, longer-range derivative of its 7X sibling at the 2014 European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition in Geneva.
Designed and built in parallel with the ill-fated 5X which Dassault cancelled in 2017 over development problems with its Safran engine the 8X rolled out of Dassault’s Bordeaux-Merignac facility in December 2014,
notched its first flight on Feb. 6, 2015 and entered service with charter operator Amjet Executive of Greece in October 2016.
Dassault delivered 69 Falcon 8Xs from 2016-20, with more than half of the jets (36) destined for western Europe, according to the Aviation Week Intelligence Network Fleet Discovery database.
