The Taj Air Dassault Falcon 2000LX jet aircraft holds its own and is superior in almost every single area; especially when you compare it to: Cessna Citation CJ2, Cessna Citation Excel, Hawker 850 XP, Cessna Citation X, Challenger 300, Gulfstream G 200 and Challenger 604. Enumerated below are the reasons that make it the preferred aircraft for charters:
It is designed to climb to 41,000ft in just 18 minutes. With a maximum ceiling of 47,000ft (nearly 11/2 times the height of Mount Everest with its elevation at 29,029ft); thereby flying above turbulent weather and avoiding air traffic, in cruise and 'whisper-soft' flight.
- It has a cruise speed of 880km/h, coupled with a range of 3,000 NM - which translates to around 6 hours of 'non-stop flying'.
- The cabin boasts 6 ft 2 in of headroom, a width of 7 ft 8 in and a cabin length of 26 ft 2 in passenger seating space. The floor plan is designed to provide multiple seating for 9 passengers with the added convenience of 2 toilets (one exclusively for the passengers). The passenger cabin volume of 1,024ft3 is among the highest in its category.
The baggage space is 14% more than its closest rival and allows you to travel in style.
