Dassault Aviation Brings Falcon 6X to Singapore Airshow 2026

Falcon 10X continues advancing through key development milestones

Saint-Cloud, 01 February 2026 – Dassault Aviation will feature its new Falcon 6X at the Singapore Airshow 2026, highlighting the aircraft’s growing fleet in service worldwide since its entry into service in late 2023.

The twinjet — which offers the largest cabin cross-section of any purpose-built business jet before the Falcon 10X entry into service— will be on static display throughout the week at Changi Exhibition Centre.

The spacious interior, advanced flight controls and highly efficient Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812D engines on the Falcon 6X have positioned the big new extra widebody twin as a leading choice for long-range travel in the Asia-Pacific region.

The 6X has earned strong marks from first operators for its exceptional cabin comfort, quietness and short-field capability — hallmarks of the Falcon family

Falcon 10X: Program Advancing Toward Rollout and First Flight

The 6X is slated to be joined by Dassault’s new ultra long range Falcon 10X, which is moving steadily through key development milestones as it progresses toward rollout and the beginning of its flight-test campaign. Designed to redefine the ultra-long-range segment, the 10X will offer the widest cabin in its class and alike all the Falcons, incorporate flight-control technologies developed for Dassault’s combat aircraft. With a range of 7,500 nautical miles, the 10X is engineered for nonstop intercontinental operations — a capability increasingly valued by business aviation users across the Asia Pacific.

Asia-Pacific Business Aviation on an Upward Trajectory

The business aviation outlook in the Asia Pacific continues to brighten, underpinned by economic growth, fleet modernisation requirements and rising demand for ultra-long-range aircraft with advanced cabin and operational capabilities. Today some 100 Falcon jets are operating in the Asia-Pacific region, a fleet that is expected to grow as operators seek greater range, efficiency and comfort in their flight operations.

Strengthening Aftermarket Support: ExecuJet Malaysia Expands Capability

Dassault Aviation continues to reinforce its customer support footprint through its ExecuJet MRO Services network.

In 2024, ExecuJet Malaysia opened a new MRO facility at Subang Airport designed to support the latest-generation Falcon aircraft, including the Falcon 6X and the future Falcon 10X. The state-of-the-art facility complements ExecuJet’s existing service centres in Australia and strengthens Dassault’s ability to deliver high-quality maintenance, repair and overhaul services for customers across Asia Pacific.

This expansion builds on Dassault’s rapidly growing global aftermarket network—the company recently added a big new service facility in Melbourne, Florida–and supports the long-term operational needs of the regional Falcon fleet.

“The Singapore Airshow is a key opportunity for us to engage with customers across one of the world’s most promising aviation markets. “The top of the Falcon line continues to set new standards for cabin comfort and flight performance. Through our expanded MRO presence in Malaysia we are furthering our commitment to supporting the long-term growth of business aviation in the region,” says Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.

 

Flying Coral Reef - Passion for the Sea, Love for Flying

For many pilots, an aircraft is simply a means of getting from one place to another. For Fred Hudson, a Florida-based entrepreneur, his Pilatus PC-12 is much more than that, it’s a flying reflection of his passions. Looking at this PC-12, you might think it belongs to Jack Sparrow or the Disney Company – the paint scheme is simply stunning, eye-catching, and even a little wild. But when you look behind the curtain, you’ll see that it actually belongs to a serious and very proud owner who is also a huge Pilatus fan.

With its striking coral reef-inspired paint scheme, this aircraft has been turning heads and sparking curiosity for more than two decades, drawing attention wherever it flies. “Everywhere I go, people assume it’s a marine research plane,” says Fred with a huge smile. “But really, the paint scheme is based on my hobby, spearfishing, and my passion for the Bahamas.” At first glance, the PC-12 resembles an aquarium in flight, decorated with images of reef life, fish, turtles, corals and even a treasure chest. The inspiration comes directly from his private island retreat in the Abacos, where he spends time roughly every three weeks. He uses the plane to fly to his own strip – a perfect landing spot for the PC-12. “Beyond flying, my heart belongs to the sea. I wanted a plane that was as personal and vibrant as my connection to it.”

An Incredible Aircraft This isn’t just any plane – it is Fred’s 70th aircraft. Over the years, he has flown jets and turboprops, often changing aircraft. But when he purchased his PC-12 in Johannesburg in 2002, he knew he had found something special. “I would never ever want a different plane. The PC-12 is by far the most utilitarian aircraft ever made for flights under a thousand miles. Period.”

With more than 3,000 hours on his PC-12, Fred flies it himself, logging about 150 hours per year. The aircraft has taken him all across the Western Hemisphere – from Alaska to Panama, and often deep into the Caribbean. It has also served a greater purpose during times of crisis. After the earthquake in Haiti, he ferried doctors and medical supplies, and following devastating hurricanes in the Bahamas, he made multiple relief flights. “We stacked it to the ceiling with supplies – that’s when you realize how incredibly useful this aircraft really is.”

The PC-12 as Trusted Partner

Beyond its striking appearance and humanitarian missions, the PC-12 is also central to both his business and personal life. As the owner of a thriving furniture enterprise with 14 stores and more than 500 employees, he relies on the aircraft to make the most of his time. “Flying has always been a huge part of my business. It allows me to attend markets, meetings, and still enjoy time at my homes in the mountains and in the Bahamas. I literally use it for everything – both business and private.”

For him, the PC-12 has become more than an aircraft, it is a trusted partner. “This plane is my right arm,” he says. “It has lived a very cool life – and so have I because of it.”
