The global business aviation industry has just received significant news: Dassault Aviation, the renowned French aircraft manufacturer, will begin producing key components of its Falcon 2000 business jet in India. While this move reinforces the Falcon’s position on the global manufacturing map, in Vietnam, the aircraft has already made a strong impression through premium flights—most notably, a successful mission carried out by JetVina for one of its esteemed clients.
According to AIN Online, Dassault Aviation has signed an agreement with Reliance Defence to establish a manufacturing facility in Mihan, India. This plant will be responsible for producing major assemblies for the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS, an upgraded variant within the Falcon 2000 family.
This strategic move is part of the offset commitments tied to the procurement of 36 Rafale fighter jets between France and India. By transferring technology and producing key components directly in India, Dassault not only optimizes its supply chain but also gains greater access to the rapidly growing aviation market in Asia. The initiative is expected to reduce costs and enhance the global competitiveness of the Falcon 2000 series.
While recent headlines have focused on the 2000LXS variant, the Falcon 2000S deserves equal recognition—this aircraft helped shape the reputation of the entire Falcon 2000 family. As a super-midsize jet, the 2000S stands out with its exceptional balance of performance, comfort, and operational efficiency.
Highlights of the Falcon 2000S:
Outstanding Short Runway Performance:
Nicknamed the “king of short runways,” the Falcon 2000S features advanced wing design with leading and trailing edge devices that allow for safe takeoffs and landings at airports with limited runway lengths—often inaccessible to other jets in its class. This gives clients maximum flexibility when planning their journeys.
Spacious Cabin Interior:
Although classified as a midsize jet, the Falcon 2000S boasts one of the most spacious cabins in its category. Passengers experience comfort on par with larger jets, enhanced by elegant French-designed interiors. The cabin height allows for easy, upright movement, adding to the overall sense of freedom and luxury onboard.
Ideal Range for Regional and Intercontinental Travel:
With a range of approximately 6,200 kilometers, the Falcon 2000S can fly nonstop from Hanoi to Dubai or from Ho Chi Minh City to Sydney—perfectly meeting the demands of Asia-Pacific travel as well as select long-haul missions.
Optimized Operating Costs:
Dassault has achieved a remarkable feat—delivering a powerful and luxurious jet that is more cost-effective to operate than many of its competitors. This makes the Falcon 2000S a smart and strategic investment for discerning owners and operators alike.
A Clear Testament to the Falcon 2000S’s “Golden Capability”: JetVina’s Signature Charter Flight
One of the most compelling demonstrations of the Falcon 2000S’s exceptional capabilities was a flight organized by JetVina for a private client along the route Da Nang – Con Dao – Cam Ranh.
This journey highlighted an irreplaceable advantage of the Falcon 2000S:
Da Nang – Con Dao Segment:
Con Dao is a truly challenging destination. Its airport (VCS) has a short runway of just 1,830 meters, surrounded by complex terrain of mountains and sea, which significantly limits access for many commercial aircraft and larger private jets. Most travelers can only reach the island on smaller turboprop planes like the ATR-72, often involving inconvenient connecting flights.
The Falcon 2000S Advantage:
Thanks to its short-runway performance, JetVina’s Falcon 2000S was able to transport the client directly from Da Nang to Con Dao smoothly and safely. This seamless experience not only eliminated the need for exhausting stopovers but also delivered an unmatched level of privacy and luxury. Clients could fully immerse themselves in the pristine beauty of Con Dao the moment they stepped off one of the world’s most advanced business jets.
Con Dao – Cam Ranh Segment:
Following a tranquil retreat on the island, the journey continued effortlessly from Con Dao to Cam Ranh. The flight demonstrated the full scheduling freedom that only private aviation can offer—swift, flexible, and completely tailored to the client’s needs.
The flight not only operated safely and on schedule but also delivered a truly luxurious flying experience for the passengers. The client expressed complete satisfaction with the comfort of the cabin, the smoothness of the journey, and especially the professionalism of JetVina’s flight crew.
The success of this flight affirmed JetVina’s capabilities in operating complex and modern aircraft, while also showcasing that the Falcon 2000S is the ideal choice for business executives and VIP clients in Vietnam—those who demand flexibility, privacy, and prestige in every journey.
Dassault’s decision to expand Falcon 2000 production to India is great news for the global aviation industry. At the same time, the presence and success of the Falcon 2000S in missions operated by JetVina in Vietnam point toward a promising future. This jet is more than just a means of transport—it is a symbol of success and vision, connecting business opportunities from across the globe to Vietnam.
