Beyond the numbers
What to weigh
- Your longest regular route with realistic load, not the maximum published range.
- Cabin layout and floor plan of the specific aircraft, not just the type.
- New or pre-owned availability, and model succession for out-of-production types.
- Maintenance programme status, which can outweigh differences between types.
- Crew availability for each type in your region.
Notes
Falcon 2000LXS
- A wide cabin with 4,000 nm range, for owners who want large-cabin comfort without ultra-long-range costs.
- Several Falcon 2000 variants exist; confirm the exact variant.
Challenger 650
- The latest of the long-running Challenger 600 series; earlier 604 and 605 aircraft share the family.
- A wide cabin (7 ft 11 in) for a 4,000 nm aircraft.
