Dassault To Highlight Falcon 8X At 2018 ABACE The 2018 edition of the Asian Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (ABACE) is set to kick off tomorrow in Shanghai, China. Dassault Falcon is there and will be highlighting their new Falcon 8X, their newest offering in the wide-cabin, long range market. The first Chinese operated Falcon 8X was delivered towards the end of 2017 and Dassault will be looking to impress upon the Chinese market the advantages of this aircraft over competing models.
The successful introduction of the Falcon 8X comes as Dassault is embarking on development of a new ultra widebody twinjet, the Falcon 6X, that will revolutionize the 5,000 nm segment. Unveiled on February 28, the 6X will be the most modern, spacious and versatile twin in its class and will draw on many of the advanced features of the 8X, including its ultra-quiet cabin and unrivalled airport performance. "Thanks to growing support from the central government, China’s business aviation sector appears headed for a period of solid growth," said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation. "...and with a rapidly expanding lineup of high end models, led by the Falcon 8X and now the 6X, Dassault expects to benefit significantly from this growth."
