The Dassault Falcon 900 is a heavy jet designed as a larger, enhanced version of the Falcon 50 super midsize jet. The Falcon 900 received FAA certification in 1986, and while it does share a similar configuration to the Falcon 50, it has a larger range, can seat more passengers and has a longer and wider fuselage. The longer fuselage allows the interior to be more spacious and comfortable, while also providing passengers a bit of separation from the crew.

The Falcon 900s’ design incorporates composite materials wherever possible, drastically reducing the weight of the aircraft. The flight range is impressive, able to travel 4,600 statute miles because of the innovative three-engine configuration. The third engine is ideal for international flights and also offers flight planning and safety benefits. The Falcon 900 can seat up to 12 passengers and travels at average speeds up to 536 mph. The Falcon 900 jets share virtually the same wing design as the Falcon 50.

In 1994, Dassault introduced the Falcon 900EX, a longer range version of the Falcon 900 with increased fuel capacity. The Falcon 900EX features a Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics package, engine upgrades that provide the aircraft with additional thrust, and a Head-Up Display for the pilot.

The Falcon 900s offer a spacious cabin with some seats that can be reclined into a full-length bed perfect for a mid-flight nap. All of the additional seats are also fully adjustable, able to swivel and recline.  This jet also has a private lavatory, as well as an isolated galley and cockpit. The Falcon 900 offers 127 cubic feet of internal baggage space that can be accessed during your flight.

Few other jets in its class can compete with the Falcon 900 in terms of passenger comfort, range and performance.

The cabin in the Global 5000/6000 is well appointed for business or pleasure with a spacious “living room” area, a private stateroom with divans for sleeping, a full galley, wide aisles, lots of natural light and full lavatories. The seats in the Global 5000 were designed by for ultimate comfort and support in the back and headrests.  Some models even come equipped with an electrically deployed conference table.

The galley of the Global 5000 is also quite impressive and includes: a microwave and convection oven, coffee/espresso machine, custom china, chiller, sink and faucet, and space for hot and cold meal prep. Bombardier says, “Access what you require, as required. With the high-capacity luggage compartment safely accessible throughout the flight, your personal items are always within reach.” With a comfort-focused cabin and ample baggage space (195 cubic feet), you will have everything you need for the most enjoyable private jet experience.

When it comes to performance, the Global 5000/6000 ranks at the top of the class. This jet has two Rolls-Royce Deutschland BR710A2-20 turbofan engines, allowing it a range of 5984 statue miles and a cruise speed of 560 mph, carrying up to 12-14 passengers depending on the individual model. “The Global 5000 aircraft maintains an astonishing range when taking off from wet and short runways. With its powerful engines, oversized carbon brakes and advanced wing design, rainy conditions won’t keep you from getting to your destination.” Bombardier commends the Global 5000/6000 for its operational flexibility, short takeoff range, and ability to operate with ease in poor weather conditions.

Overall, Bombardier has really hit the mark for personal and business travelers, no matter what the mission. If you’re in need of a heavy jet, be sure to keep the Global 5000/6000 at the top of your list.

Cessna’s Citation Jet 2 was flown for the first time in 2000 as an upgrade to beloved Citation Jet 1. It is the second model in the Citation Jet line. With a number of enhancements, this light jet is a perfect choice for private fliers looking for an aircraft with versatility, high-performance, and lower operating costs.

The Citation Jet 2 (CJ2) was designed to be easily flown with a single pilot, able to travel 1237+ statute miles before needing a fuel stop. This CJ2 is also noted for its fuel efficiency due in large part to the two Williams/Rolls-Royce FJ44-2C turbofan engines, with 400+ lbs. more thrust than the Citation CJ1 at takeoff. The CJ2 cruises at average speeds of 475 mph and offers best-in-class runway capabilities, allowing it to takeoff and land at smaller airports with ease, getting you closer to your destination in less time.

Another major improvement to the CJ2 is the transition from the straight wing design of the CJ1 to a laminar flow wing. The switch to the laminar flow wings with the stretched wingspan greatly improved overall lift-to-drag performance. 

The CJ2’s cabin is also more spacious than its predecessor, stretched 33 additional inches. The cabin sits six passengers comfortably at a total volume of 248 cubic feet. The cabin is 50 cubic feet larger than the cabin of the CJ1 and can generally accommodate one more passenger.

The cabin measures 13′ 7″ in length, 4′ 10″ in height and 4′ 10″ in width. The external baggage space in the Citation Jet 2 is generous at 70 cubic feet and can hold several pieces of luggage with an additional 4 cubic feet of baggage space on the interior. The CJ2 also has a small galley and lavatory on board.

The Citation Jet 2 avionics include: A Flight Management System, Full Glass Cockpit Technology, Dual GPS Navigation, Traffic Collision Avoidance System, and a Ground Proximity Warning System.

CJ2s are a light jet favorite of passengers and pilots alike for their fuel performance, runway capabilities, and affordability.

The Gulfstream 550 is a long-range heavy jet and is considered a best-in-value business aircraft. According to the National Aeronautic Association, the G550’s design team was awarded the Collier Trophy for “leading-edge achievement in designing, testing and building an innovative aircraft while incorporating measurable safety enhancements and far-reaching advances in aerospace technology….”

The G550 is an ultra-long-range business jet that can travel non-stop over 7,282 statute miles at a cruise speed of 614 mph, able to travel from New York to Dubai non-stop. The Gulfstream 550 leaves passengers wanting for nothing. Cabin amenities generally include: a full-service galley, Wi-Fi, power outlets, video monitors, telephone/SATCOM, a fax machine, a CD/DVD/Blue-ray player, an Airshow System, noise-canceling headsets, and cabin speakers. This jet offers a fully enclosed lavatory and 169 cubic feet of ample baggage space.

The Gulfstream G550 sets the standard for reliability, comfort and performance. The spacious interior of the G550 is 1669 cubic feet, with a cabin height of 6’2″, width of 7’3″ and length of 50’1″. This heavy jet can seat up to 16 people at max capacity in the large stand-up cabin and berth up to 8. The cabin is made for conducting business and acts as a fully functioning office in the sky. Advanced soundproofing technologies cut outside noise significantly, electric window shades allow easy visibility of electronic devices, and console tables make the perfect work space. To combat fatigue and contribute to passenger comfort, 100% fresh air is circulated around the cabin every two minutes. The 14 signature Gulfstream oval windows also allow for more natural light in the cabin, letting in the view from every angle.

The technological capabilities in the G550’s cockpit are also quite impressive. “Working with avionics partner Honeywell, Gulfstream in 2003 introduced the PlaneView cockpit, making it the most technologically advanced business jet flight system in existence. Since then, the flight deck has continued to evolve and improve, and by design, easily accepts software upgrades. PlaneView uses four liquid crystal displays to present essential flight  data in larger, crisper images that make ever-changing flight conditions easier to analyze.” Equipped with an Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Head-Up Display (HUD), pilots can easily monitor their surroundings even in low visibility conditions.

The Dassault Falcon 2000 is a heavy jet that was designed to be more economical option to it’s sister jet the Falcon 900, without sacrificing any of the performance standards that private fliers have grown to love. The Falcon 2000 can travel the U.S. from coast to coast at fast cruise speeds with ease and with impressive fuel economy. The Falcon 2000 typically seats 8-10 and can travel 3,100 nautical miles at average speeds up to 515 mph. It can climb to 37,000 feet in nineteen minutes.

The Falcon 2000 shares the wing and forward fuselage design of the Falcon 900, but differs in design. The 2000s were purposely designed to have a smaller transcontinental range than the 900s to eliminate the need for three engines. The two CFE738 engines allow for the jet to typically need less downtime for repairs and maintenance. The Falcon 2000s also have a redesigned wing, eliminating inboard slats.

This Falcon 2000 was the first private jet that Dassault designed digitally on a computer without a physical model. The CATIA software used to design the Falcon 2000s helped improve the aerodynamic structure and made it possible to simplify the jet’s systems.

The Falcon 2000s use the Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite. Systems are grouped by their function and are set up so they coincide with the display screens that control those functions.

The Falcon 2000 offers a quiet, roomy cabin with some seats that can be reconfigured into beds for a mid-flight nap. The Falcon 2000 also offers 131 cubic feet of internal baggage space, holding up to 1,600 pounds.

Few other jets in its class can compete with the Falcon 2000 in terms of passenger comfort, speed, and performance.

While we specialise in chartering some of the most luxurious aircraft in the world, we believe that Victor is, at its core, a people business. It’s our team—individuals who not only excel in their roles but also contribute to our inclusive and thriving culture—that enables Victor to deliver on its mission and strive to become the world’s leading on-demand charter company.

In this feature, we shine a spotlight on Olivia Carlin, Senior Sales Associate at Victor. Below, Olivia shares her experiences at Victor so far and offers insights into what it’s like to work in a client-facing role within a highly exclusive luxury sector.

Tell us about yourself…

Originally from Surrey, England, I studied Business Management at the University of Nottingham. I now live in South West London and work in the Fulham office as a Senior Sales Associate at Victor. I joined the company in February 2022, and it’s incredible how quickly time has flown—it’s hard to believe it’s already been nearly two and a half years!

What inspired you to join the private aviation industry and Victor?

Growing up around the motorsport industry, I’ve had the privilege of being around some pretty incredible luxury assets. Whenever my family and I would go to Silverstone to watch the Grand Prix I’d see all the helicopters dropping off clients and wonder how complicated it must be for those behind the scenes trying to coordinate so many different travel requirements.

That’s why I was so excited when I heard about Victor through a recruiter. After learning more about the company and understanding how they are trying to shake up the industry through transparency and climate action, I felt like it was a really good fit for me.

With over 400 golf clubs, including a third of the world’s natural links courses, it is fair to say that the Irish golfing community is somewhat spoilt for choice. With fewer crowds and daylight-saving hours still in effect, most locals will argue that the month of September is the best time to enjoy a round of golf in Ireland.

In this article we have listed three incredible opportunities for golfing enthusiasts’ courtesy of Victor Alto partners Golf Traveller and StayOne.

World-class links on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way

Through our Alto partner, Golf Traveller, you can traverse the dramatic landscape from Derry to Cork, while taking in six of Ireland’s top golf courses.

Your journey will start from Old Head, located south of Kinsale, where you’ll find yourself amidst the vast expanse of the ocean, playing along a two-mile-long coastline. Continuing westward, you’ll reach Waterville, where your drives will be framed by the beauty of a serene lake and the expansive blue horizon. Next, you’ll experience Arnold Palmer’s inaugural European masterpiece, Tralee, followed by the renowned Ballybunion, Ireland’s top-ranked golf course.

Your itinerary also includes Adare Manor, which will soon become far more restricted as it prepares to host the 2026 Ryder Cup, and Lahinch, a golf course shaped not only by the brilliance of Old Tom Morris but also by the design of Alister McKenzie.

The 19th hole: The Carriage House Restaurant, Terrace and Bar in Adare Manor Hotel provides the perfect spot for a post-golf drink after a long day walking the fairways. In Ballybunion, McMunn’s bar prides itself on its whisky and Guinness while also offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Cork Airport is a 40-minute drive away from the starting point of this itinerary. The best way to maximise your time on the golf course is to arrange helicopter transfers through Victor, this way you can take in the scenery from above and save hours that would otherwise be spent on the road.

Last year, the BBC reported a surprising travel insight: two of the world’s four most-visited cities are in Turkey—namely, Istanbul and Antalya. While this statistic is largely due to the recent lifting of visa requirements and an overall increase in commercial travel routes, Turkey’s focused efforts to attract private flyers through the luxury tourism sector have also played a significant role.

In the business aviation sector, Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport has experienced the highest growth in Europe this year, handling 4,170 private jets in the first half alone—a 20% increase in volume. While the summer months are traditionally the most popular time to visit Turkey, we believe that September and October offer the best experience, with fewer crowds and pleasantly cooler evenings.

Travelling to Turkey via private jet:

If you’re planning a trip to Turkey, the Praetor 600 emerges as the super-midsize aircraft of choice. With a typical configuration of 6 single seats and a double seater sofa this is a great option for families travelling with children who can comfortably lie down and catch some sleep. The flat floor as opposed to a sunken aisle also provides plenty of room for pets of all sizes.

The Praetor 600 first appeared in the charter market in the latter half of 2019, which means almost every model is guaranteed to have a modern and impressive interior. It’s high-definition touchscreen system, which is designed to bring intuitive cabin management to your fingertips, is also guaranteed to enhance your overall in-flight experience.
