The Dassault Falcon 2000S is the entry-level Falcon 2000 variant, sharing the airframe with the 2000LXS but with a shorter 3,350 nautical mile book range. For a Switzerland client who does not need a Toronto or Aspen nonstop and wants Falcon short-field manners at a lower price point, the 2000S is the right conversation.
Dassault certified the Falcon 2000S in 2013 alongside the LXS. The airframe is identical (66.3 feet long, 70.2 feet wingspan, 23.2 feet tall) and carries the same PW308C engines and inboard slats that give the LXS its short-field advantage. The differences are in fuel capacity and MTOW, which produce the 3,350 versus 4,000 nautical mile range split. Cabin is trimmed for 8 in a typical layout.

Why the Dassault Falcon 2000S Fits Switzerland
Heavy jets such as the Dassault Falcon 2000S fly the long Swiss routings, and Geneva and Zurich both have the runway and the handling for them. Geneva’s runway is 3,900 meters, 12,795 feet, the longest in Switzerland, and Zurich’s longest is 3,700 meters, 12,139 feet. Both take this aircraft at weight. Geneva has one runway and is fully slot-coordinated, so the departure window is agreed in advance and your advisor confirms it as part of the booking. Tell us the dates and the destination and we will tell you what the airports allow before you commit to anything.

Switzerland-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Charter demand in Switzerland concentrates around ski season, running December through March,
with Samedan (LSZS) and Bern-Belp (LSZB) seeing the heaviest private traffic during that period.
The World Economic Forum at Davos drives January demand to a sharp peak in eastern Switzerland.
Art Basel in June, the Locarno Film Festival in August, and the Montreux Jazz Festival over the summer
each bring concentrated charter demand. Geneva (GVA) and Zurich (ZRH) handle the bulk of inbound
and outbound flights, with Euroairport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL) serving the Basel corridor. Slot and
ground-handler coordination matters at all three; your advisor plans around it from the outset.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
