Falcon 10

The Falcon 10 is the fastest small-cabin light jet available on Mexico routes, and for five to seven passengers who need to be somewhere quickly it competes on speed with aircraft that carry more people and cost more. Mexico Jet Charter quotes this aircraft most often on the short Texas-to-Monterrey and Florida-to-Cancun sectors.

Dassault produced the Falcon 10 from 1973 as a scaled-down Falcon 20, keeping the swept wing and the handling that came with it. Two Garrett TFE731 engines, 454 knots and 1,520 nautical miles of range. Five to seven seats in a cabin sized to match. Full specifications for the Falcon 10 are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Falcon 10 Fits Mexico

At 454 knots the Falcon 10 is one of the quickest aircraft in the Mexico light-jet category, which on a Houston-to-Monterrey or a Dallas-to-Monterrey sector means a perceptibly shorter block time than a Citation Bravo or a Citation II on the same routing. For an executive making a same-day Monterrey plant visit and returning to Texas the same evening, that matters.

The cabin is the counter-argument, and on Mexico leisure trips it is a real one. Five passengers is comfortable; seven is a full aircraft with luggage that requires planning. A family of six heading into Cancun for a week should probably be on a Citation V instead. The honest conversation at quote stage is whether speed or cabin wins.

At 1,520 nautical miles of range the Falcon 10 covers the common short-to-mid Mexico sectors but runs short on longer ones. Houston to Mexico City via Toluca pushes toward the limit with a full payload, and the operator’s performance data at Toluca’s high elevation is the number we look at rather than the published maximum.

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
  • 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.
