The Falcon 50 is a three-engine super-midsize jet for Puerto Rico from San Juan (SJU), seating 8 to 9 with 3,075 nautical miles of range. It links SJU to the full US mainland or northern South America nonstop, with the overwater margin of three engines. A trijet with strong short-field ability.
Dassault built the Falcon 50 from 1979 as a three-engine, long-range design, cruising near 488 knots at up to 49,000 feet. The trijet layout adds redundancy on long overwater legs.

Why the Falcon 50 Fits Puerto Rico
From Puerto Rico the Falcon 50 fits clients who want three-engine reassurance on Caribbean overwater routes: San Juan to the mainland US or Bogota nonstop. Short-field ability and margin are the draw.
For super-midsize trips out of SJU where a third engine matters, the Falcon 50 stands apart from the twins.
