Falcon 20

The Falcon 20 is a Dassault-built midsize jet with a wide cabin and enough range for the primary Mexico corridors, and it holds its place in the market on cabin volume and price. At eight to ten seats it carries more passengers than most midsize jets on the Mexico circuit at a rate below the newer aircraft in the category.

Dassault produced the Falcon 20 from 1963 through the 1980s across several variants, with General Electric CF700 or Garrett ATF3 engines depending on the version. Eight to ten seats, 400 knots and 1,810 nautical miles of range. Full specifications for the Falcon 20 are published by Dassault Falcon.

Why the Falcon 20 Fits Mexico

Ten seats in a midsize aircraft is the specification that keeps the Falcon 20 on Mexico quote sheets. Most midsize jets in this category seat seven to nine; the Falcon 20 stretches to ten, and for a corporate group heading from Houston to Monterrey or a family of nine flying into Cancun, that seat count can mean one aircraft instead of two. The arithmetic on that trade usually favors the older aircraft.

At 400 knots and 1,810 nautical miles the Falcon 20 is the slowest of the Mexico midsize jets on this site, and the range limits some of the longer US-to-Mexico sectors. New York to Cancun at roughly 1,600 nautical miles is inside the range; New York to Mexico City via Toluca at around 2,100 is not without a stop. From the US South and Midwest the primary Mexico destinations all fit comfortably.

The Falcon 20 is a decades-old airframe and operator vetting carries extra weight here. We review the operator’s safety and incident history and confirm the crew are current on the type before any Falcon 20 goes on a Mexico charter quote. The aircraft flying today should be in good condition; the question is which operator is running it.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • 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.
