High-altitude Airport OK Will Put Falcon 7X in Rare Air
Certification effort is intended to meet demand in Western China for business jets capable of operating at small high-altitude airports in the region.
On September 7, Dassault wrapped up flight testing that would see its Falcon 7X as the first certified business jet to operate at the world’s highest commercial airport–14,470-foot-high Daocheng Yading Airport in China’s Sichuan province. Once granted, the certification will permit the trijet to operate at airports up to 15,000 feet, allowing it to operate at numerous small high-altitude airports in Western China.
