The Falcon 2000 is manufactured by Dassault, a French aviation company that builds military planes and private jets. The jet was developed from the Falcon 900, a popular business jet that was notably purchased by Elon Musk before he became a billionaire in 2012. A Falcon 900 was also previously owned by Taylor Swift before being sold in January.
A new Falcon 2000LXS costs around $36.5 million, while a pre-owned jet costs $24 million.The cockpit of a Dassault Falcon 2000LXS.

A new Falcon 2000LXS — manufactured in 2024 — costs over $10 million more than a pre-owned jet that was built in 2015, per the charter company Guardian Jet.
Flying on the Falcon 2000LXS for 300 hours a year amounts to around $5 million in operating costs, per Guardian Jet. On average, the jet burns some 280 gallons of fuel per hour, which amounts to $1,400 in hourly fuel costs.
According to the jet broker JetCraft, only 17% of Falcon 2000LXS aircraft were bought pre-owned, while the majority were purchased new in 2019.
The 2000LXS is powered by the Pratt & Whitney PW308C engines, per Dassault's website.
Several similarly-sized jets, like the Gulfstream G280 and the Bombardier 650, are notably less expensive. Both these jets cost around $24.5 million new, per Guardian Jet.

This means that the jet can fly routes like Dubai to London, New York to Copenhagen, and Singapore to Dubai non-stop, per Dassault's website. These flights are usually up to eight hours long.
Several business jets, including the Bombardier 650, have a similar range of 4,000 nautical miles.
The Falcon 2000LXS has a wingspan of 70.2 feet, a length of 66.2 feet, and a height of 23.2 feet, per Dassault's annual report.

According to an October report by Forbes, several American magnates own a Falcon 2000. This includes the Andersen family, owners of the Oregon-based Andersen Construction Company, and Jeff Hansen, the third-generation owner of one of the largest pork companies in the US.
John Travolta told Aviation International News in a 2020 interview that he owns two Falcons — the 2000 and 900. The famed Formula 1 racer Michael Schumacher also once owned a Falcon 2000 under the registration VP-CGM.
