Falcon 2000EX EASy
The Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy is a heavy business jet seating 10 passengers in a 26.2-foot cabin, 7.7 feet wide and 6.2 feet tall, with flat floor, enclosed lavatory, full galley, and Wi-Fi. Range is 3,800 nautical miles at 481 knots with a 47,000-foot service ceiling. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofan engines produce 7,000 lbs of thrust each, a significant increase over the original Falcon 2000's CFE738 engines (5,918 lbs each). The EASy variant adds 350 nautical miles of range over the original Falcon 2000 while sharing the same airframe and cabin.
The 31 US Part 135 aircraft span 20 operators. Clay Lacy Aviation and THRO Aviation each hold 4 aircraft; Jet Aviation Flight Services and RR Investments each hold 3. Twelve active empty legs appear in current listings, six times more than the 2 showing for the original Falcon 2000. Route data shows a notable concentration on the Grand Cayman to Dallas Addison corridor (MWCR to KADS, 5 of the 12 legs bidirectional), reflecting operators with Caribbean-connected program activity.
Charter rates run approximately $6,500 to $8,500 per hour. Used Falcon 2000EX EASy aircraft trade from $5 million to $10 million.

The Falcon 2000EX EASy carries a stand-up cabin — 6.2 ft tall, 7.7 ft wide. Adults move around without crouching. A fully enclosed lavatory makes it workable for longer legs. Connectivity varies by tail — most operators in this fleet have at least one Wi-Fi-equipped aircraft, but confirm before booking if you need to work in the air.
Operator floor plans vary. Some Falcon 2000EX EASy cabins are configured with a divan that drops the headcount by one or two seats; confirm the layout with the operator before booking.
Range & performance
| Range | 3,800 nm |
| Max cruise | 481 ktas |
| Typical cruise | ~409 ktas |
| Service ceiling | 47,000 ft |
At 3,800 nm, the Falcon 2000EX EASy crosses the US coast-to-coast non-stop with a full cabin and reserves. Cross-Atlantic flights typically need a fuel stop.
Distances are real great-circle nautical miles from the selected hub. Angular positions are spaced for readability, not actual bearings. Range envelope assumes no wind and a full passenger load.
Charter cost per hour
Charter the Falcon 2000EX EASy at roughly $10,000–$18,000 per flight hour, depending on how far ahead you book. Heavy jets like this carry 10–16 passengers; the per-seat math improves sharply as you fill the cabin.
Rates are flight-hour pricing. Total cost depends on round-trip vs. one-way, positioning, fuel surcharges, and taxes (~15% on top of base). Run the math on your trip →
History
Dassault introduced the Falcon 2000EX in 2002 by replacing the original Falcon 2000's CFE738-1-1B engines with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C turbofans. The PW308C produces 7,000 lbs of thrust versus the CFE738's 5,918 lbs, extending range from 3,450nm to 3,800nm and improving single-engine climb margins that eased oceanic route approvals. In 2003 Dassault added the EASy flight management system, jointly developed with Honeywell, to create the Falcon 2000EX EASy. EASy consolidated the flight management computer, autopilot, and navigation systems into a single integrated interface with large EFIS displays and a trackpad controller, substantially reducing pilot workload relative to the independently operated systems it replaced.
The Falcon 2000EX EASy was the primary production variant through 2007, succeeded by the Falcon 2000LX (winglets, 4,000nm range) and Falcon 2000S (short-field capability, 2012). Dassault extended the EASy cockpit designation across its product line (the Falcon 900EX EASy and 7X use the same interface), creating a common type-rating pathway across the Falcon family.
Ideal For
- Eight to ten passengers on transatlantic routes where the 3,800nm range covers New York to London (3,450nm) with a 350nm reserve margin, and reaches most European capitals from East Coast departure points nonstop
- Caribbean corridor operations: the route data shows consistent Grand Cayman (MWCR) to Dallas Addison (KADS) activity, reflecting the type's range fit and operator geography in the Texas and Caribbean market
- Buyers cross-shopping the original Falcon 2000: the EASy variant adds 350nm range, improved single-engine performance, and the EASy cockpit at a used-price premium of $1M–$4M; the EASy is worth the premium for operators running routine transatlantic legs
- Pilots or operators who hold Falcon family type ratings: the EASy cockpit is common across the Falcon 900EX EASy and 7X, enabling multi-type currency without full additional type rating training

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Falcon 2000EX and the Falcon 2000EX EASy?
The Falcon 2000EX (2002) upgraded the engines from CFE738 to PW308C, extending range to 3,800nm. The Falcon 2000EX EASy (2003) added the EASy integrated flight management system: a Dassault/Honeywell co-developed cockpit interface that consolidates flight management, autopilot, and navigation into a single trackpad-controlled panel. From a passenger perspective, the experience is identical; the difference is pilot workload and avionics. When booking charter, confirming EX versus EX EASy matters mainly for operators with crew currency on the EASy system.
What is the Falcon 2000EX EASy's range?
3,800 nautical miles at Mach 0.80. That covers New York to London (3,450nm) with a 350nm margin, Chicago to London (3,750nm) in most conditions, and Los Angeles to Honolulu (2,230nm) with substantial reserve. Los Angeles to London (5,390nm) requires a fuel stop regardless of variant. The Falcon 2000LX, with winglets, extends range further to 4,000nm.
Why does the Falcon 2000EX EASy have more empty legs than the original Falcon 2000?
The EASy fleet of 31 aircraft has 12 active empty legs compared to 2 for the original 33-aircraft Falcon 2000 fleet. The difference is operator concentration: the original Falcon 2000's top three operators hold 36% of the fleet on fixed managed schedules, while the EASy fleet spreads more evenly across 20 operators with no single entity above 13%. More operators with varied routes produces more open repositioning legs.
How does the Falcon 2000EX EASy compare to the Challenger 604?
The Challenger 604 has a wider cabin (8.2ft vs 7.7ft) and more seats (12 vs 10). The Falcon 2000EX EASy has longer range (3,800 vs 3,650nm) and a higher service ceiling (47,000ft vs 41,000ft). Both cruise at 481-488 ktas. Charter rates are similar: $6,500-$8,500/hr for both. The cabin width difference (8.2ft vs 7.7ft) is the practical distinguishing factor for passengers; the Challenger 604 feels meaningfully wider in the front club section.
