Why the Dassault Falcon 900EX Fits Kentucky
With 4,500 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Kentucky to destinations such as Cancun, Las Vegas and London, allowing for reserves and routing. The FAA manages arrivals into the Louisville airports during Derby week, so your advisor settles the airport and the arrival time with you well ahead.
An aircraft this size usually flies from Louisville Muhammad Ali International, Blue Grass Airport in Lexington or Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, depending on where your trip starts. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before anything is booked.
How Kentucky Clients Use the Dassault Falcon 900EX
Heavy jets carry larger Kentucky groups a long way, such as a family of three generations heading to the islands, a company team flying to the West Coast, or a group of friends going to Las Vegas. Most heavy jets seat between ten and sixteen passengers.
Give us the route, who is flying and what they are bringing, golf clubs included, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft is right or suggest one that suits the trip better.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
