The Dassault Falcon 8x is the long-range trijet flagship for Puerto Rico from San Juan (SJU), seating 12 to 16 with 6,450 nautical miles of range. It links SJU nonstop to most of Europe, the US West Coast, or deep South America. The longest-legged Falcon in service.
Dassault introduced the Falcon 8X in 2016 as the stretched, longer-range development of the 7X, using three engines for efficiency and margin. It cruises near Mach 0.80 (about 459 knots) at up to 51,000 feet.

Why the Dassault Falcon 8x Fits Puerto Rico
From Puerto Rico the Falcon 8X fits the trip that needs three-engine range and a long cabin: San Juan to central Europe, the Gulf edge, or the far side of South America nonstop. The trijet adds margin on long overwater legs.
It reaches farther than the twin-engine 6X out of SJU, for clients who put range and redundancy first.
