Ammar Balkar - delighted with latest addition to the fleet

The 900DX is an advanced wide-body business jet with intercontinental range that embodies the best of Falcon Jets characteristics – long range, acclaimed cabin comfort and remarkable versatility – with unique safety and performance features.

“I am extremely pleased with our Falcon 900DX aircraft. In November 2008 Elite Jets had received its first Falcon Jet, the 900B – and our clients truly enjoy with great pleasure their travel experience on board the Falcon,” said Ammar Balkar, Elite Jets president and CEO.

The 900DX comes with top-of the range facilities, three-engine configuration and the latest avionics technology offered by the EASy Flight Deck.

The 900DX is approved to land or depart at London City airport and it performs well especially in hot weather zones. It handles short runways and high altitudes virtually anywhere with ease, such as St. Moritz in Switzerland or St. Tropez in France and has access to many smaller airports, which is especially valuable on remote multi-sector trips. Also, the three-engine configuration offers additional safety assurance

According to the Pocket Guide to Business Aircraft the Dassault Falcon 900DX comfortably seats 13 passengers in spacious accommodation with plenty of stand-up head room. The aircraft can fly from London to Boston in seven hours flat. With a range of almost 7,600 km (4,100 nm) the 900DX connects continents with ease and can comfortably cross both the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.

For example, with only eight passengers onboard the 900DX can travel up to 8 hours, non-stop, from Dubai to a destination as far as: Singapore, Taiwan, Seoul or Beijing. Johannesburg or Durban in South Africa. Casablanca, Marrakesh or Lagos in Nigeria. It can reach all Scandinavian capitals, Dublin (Ireland), St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk in Russia. With only one stop, the Falcon 900DX from Dubai can reach far-away destination, such as New York via Shannon or Rio de Janeiro via Lagos. "Also of great interest to our clients from Saudi Arabia will be the aircraft range from Jeddah for example all the way up to Moscow, Singapore, Bangkok, Cape Town or even Sierra Leone non-stop," says Balkar.
