HB-JSC Aircraft Overview
HB-JSC is a Dassault Falcon 8X registered in Switzerland under serial number 430. Classified as an ultra-long-range heavy jet, this airframe operates at the top of the business aviation market, serving intercontinental missions that most platforms cannot reach nonstop. The aircraft is associated with Alpcom Sa, registered through the FOCA. Manufactured in 2017, the aircraft has 9 years in service.
Dassault Falcon 8X Market Position
The Falcon 8X extends the 7X platform with an additional 500 nautical miles of range, reaching 6,450 nautical miles. The trijet layout and slat-equipped wing allow steep-approach capability into airports like London City, Lugano, and Aspen. Dassault positions it as the most versatile ultra-long-range aircraft in production.
Performance Profile
The Dassault Falcon 8X was designed for one purpose: eliminating fuel stops on the longest legs in private aviation. At a high-speed cruise of 481 knots, it covers 6,450 nautical miles without refueling, connecting city pairs like New York to Dubai or Los Angeles to London direct. The 51,000-foot service ceiling keeps it above airline traffic and convective weather. Power comes from 3x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307D.
Mission Profile
Ultra-long-range aircraft like the Dassault Falcon 8X serve a narrow but demanding segment: principals who require nonstop intercontinental capability without compromising cabin space or operational reliability. The cabin footprint, typically configured for 16 passengers with lie-flat seating and full galley service, supports productive work or rest over flights exceeding 12 hours.
Charter & Availability

Insider Note
On ultra-long-range missions, fuel load directly impacts payload. A Dassault Falcon 8X departing at maximum fuel will carry fewer passengers and less baggage than on shorter legs. Discuss weight-and-balance planning with your operator before committing to a route that pushes the aircraft's published range.
