Why the Dassault Falcon 900LX Fits Opa-locka
With 4,750 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Opa-locka and destinations such as Dallas, Medellin and Sao Paulo, allowing for reserves and routing. South Florida’s rainy season brings afternoon thunderstorms through the summer, so a morning departure is often the smoother choice.
Aircraft this size can use Opa-locka or Miami International depending on the trip, and the operator plans the routing, the fuel and the airport at the far end for the day. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Opa-locka Clients Use the Dassault Falcon 900LX
Many heavy jets have separate cabin sections, so on a long flight part of the group can work while the rest sleeps.
Give us the route, the number of passengers and everything they are bringing, golf bags and strollers included, and your advisor will check this aircraft against the trip before putting other options in front of you.
