Dassault Aviation will showcase its Falcon 6X business jet at Singapore Airshow 2026, highlighting the aircraft’s expanding global fleet and the company’s growing presence in the Asia-Pacific business aviation market. The twinjet will be on static display throughout the week at Changi Exhibition Centre, running from 3 to 8 February 2026, as the manufacturer advances development of its ultra-long-range Falcon 10X toward rollout and first flight.

The Falcon 6X cabin measures 12.3 meters (40 feet) in length, 1.98 meters (78 inches) in height and 2.58 meters (102 inches) in width—the largest cabin cross-section of any purpose-built business jet currently in service. The cabin can accommodate 16 passengers in three zones with 29 windows, including a galley skylight.

With an intercontinental range of 5,500 nautical miles, the aircraft can fly from London to Hong Kong or Los Angeles to Geneva nonstop. The 6X is powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engines, delivering what Dassault describes as exceptional cabin comfort, quietness and short-field capability—hallmarks of the Falcon family.

The aircraft accommodates up to 19 passenger seats in a cabin volume of 1,843 cubic feet, with a cabin altitude of 3,950 feet at 41,000 feet cruising altitude. Interior sound levels remain below 50 decibels, and cabin air is refreshed continuously through hospital-grade HEPA filters.

The 6X entered service on 30 November 2023, after receiving both Federal Aviation Administration and European Union Aviation Safety Agency type certificates in August 2023. Pilots operate the aircraft using Dassault’s fourth-generation Enhanced Avionics System (EASy) IV flight deck, based on Honeywell’s Primus Epic integrated avionics system, with the standard FalconEye combined vision system.

According to the FAA type certificate data sheet, the Falcon 6X has a maximum operating Mach number of 0.90 and a maximum operating altitude of 51,000 feet. The aircraft can land at 85% of its maximum takeoff weight, with respective maximum takeoff and landing weights of 77,500 pounds and 66,200 pounds.

The spacious interior, advanced flight controls and highly efficient engines have positioned the 6X as a leading choice for long-range travel in the Asia-Pacific region, with first operators providing strong marks for exceptional cabin comfort, quietness and short-field capability.

Falcon 10X: Advancing Toward Rollout

Visitors to the Dassault Aviation booth can also catch a preview of the Falcon 10X, which is steadily progressing through key development milestones as it moves toward rollout and the beginning of its flight-test campaign. Designed for the ultra-long-range segment, the 10X will feature a range of 7,500 nautical miles and top speed of Mach 0.925, enabling nonstop flights from New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, Hong Kong to New York, or Paris to Santiago.

The cabin will measure 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 meters) in height and 9 feet 1 inch (2.77 meters) in width—approximately 8 inches wider and 2 inches taller than the widest and tallest purpose-built business jet currently flying. With a cabin volume of 2,780 cubic feet, the ultra-spacious cabin has been compared to a “flying penthouse”.

The aircraft will feature 38 windows, making for the brightest cabin in business aviation. The 10X will incorporate flight-control technologies developed for Dassault’s combat aircraft, including the breakthrough FalconEye combined vision system offering both enhanced and synthetic vision capabilities.

The aircraft is 33.4 meters (110 feet) long with a 33.6-meter (110-foot) wide, high aspect ratio carbon fiber wing—a first for a Dassault business jet. It will be powered by two Rolls-Royce Pearl 10X engines, each delivering over 18,000 pounds of thrust.

The 10X is engineered for nonstop intercontinental operations—a capability increasingly valued by business aviation users across the Asia Pacific. Industry reporting indicates flight testing is expected to begin in 2026, with the program tracking toward late-2027 entry into service.

Asia-Pacific Business Aviation Growth

The business aviation outlook in the Asia-Pacific region continues to strengthen, supported by economic growth, fleet modernisation requirements and rising demand for ultra-long-range aircraft with advanced cabin and operational capabilities.

Approximately 100 Falcon jets currently operate in the Asia-Pacific region, a fleet expected to grow as operators seek greater range, efficiency and comfort in their flight operations.

“The Singapore Airshow is a key opportunity for us to engage with customers across one of the world’s most promising aviation markets. The top of the Falcon line continues to set new standards for cabin comfort and flight performance. Through our expanded MRO presence in Malaysia we are furthering our commitment to supporting the long-term growth of business aviation in the region.”

Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation

Expanded Regional Support Infrastructure

Dassault Aviation continues to strengthen its customer support footprint through its ExecuJet MRO Services network across the Asia-Pacific region.

In 2024, ExecuJet Malaysia opened a new purpose-built MRO facility at Subang Airport near downtown Kuala Lumpur. The facility spans 149,500 square feet, making it Malaysia’s largest business aviation MRO center—more than twice the size of ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia’s previous operation opened in 2009.

The 105,000-square-foot hangar can accommodate up to 15 medium and large business jets simultaneously, including the ultra-large-cabin Dassault Falcon 6X and Falcon 10X. The facility is designed to support the latest-generation Falcon aircraft and includes features such as a built-in overhead crane for aircraft engine changes.

The facility offers customers the full suite of MRO services from line maintenance and aircraft-on-ground support through to heavy maintenance checks, cabin interior refurbishments, satellite communications installations, avionics upgrades and other advanced modifications.

ExecuJet MRO Services Malaysia is certified by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, European Aviation Safety Agency, the US Federal Aviation Administration, and the Civil Aviation Administration of China, along with other national civil aviation regulators around the world.

The facility incorporates energy-saving design elements, including large windows for natural light, LED lighting, high-volume low-speed overhead fans, an 85kW rooftop solar system, and water tanks for harvesting rainwater.

This expansion complements ExecuJet’s existing service centres in Australia and strengthens Dassault’s ability to deliver high-quality maintenance, repair and overhaul services for customers across Asia-Pacific. The company recently added a major new service facility in Melbourne, Florida, further expanding its global aftermarket network.

The state-of-the-art Malaysia facility reinforces the country’s position as a regional centre for MRO and supports the long-term operational needs of the growing regional Falcon fleet.
