(Teterboro, New Jersey, May 8, 2008) –Falcon 7X s/n 04 has already accumulated over 1,000 flight hours since it entered service last July. The airplane is operated by Dasnair and is based in Geneva, Switzerland.

During the nine month span of service, the aircraft has carried over 1,000 passengers and made over 415 stops in 110 countries on five continents. This Falcon 7X is now the fleet leader having flown over 400,000 nautical miles (750,000 km) including several non stop flights both to and from Europe and the West Coast of the United States.

“We’ve flown a great number of long range flights in the 7X,” said Angelo Conti, Managing Director of Dasnair. “And the feedback we’ve received from our passengers has been consistent. The cabin is spacious, quiet and bright. The environment and pressurization are comfortable. And the airplane stability is exceptional. The digital flight control system provides exceptional control and response and is particularly appreciated by our pilots.”

“The Falcon 7X was designed to spend more time flying by increasing intervals between mandatory inspections and simplifying service requirements,” said Jacques Chauvet, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Customer Service. “These benefits are already being experienced by not only our fleet leader but all 7Xs in operation.” Twelve Falcon 7X are now in service.

The Falcon 7X is the first and only business jet to incorporate a digital flight control system. The level of redundancy in the system exceeds the strictest requirements set forth by certification authorities. The aircraft also comes standard with the award-winning EASy flight deck. The EASy flight deck is designed to reduce pilot workload and improve pilot interaction through elevated situational awareness in the cockpit.

Announced at the Paris Air Show in 2001, the Falcon 7X was simultaneously certified by both the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on April 27, 2007. It’s powered by three highly reliable and efficient Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A engines which help to give the Falcon 7X a 20% - 40% greater fuel efficiency than other aircraft in the large cabin, long range class. With a range of 5,950 nm (eight passengers, M.80 with NBAA IFR reserves), the aircraft can comfortably connect 95% of the commonly used business aviation city pairs worldwide.
