The Dassault Falcon 900EX is the tri-jet heavy that made the Falcon 900 series a staple of the transcontinental market in the 1990s and 2000s. Three engines, 4,500 nautical miles of range, and a 51,000-foot ceiling give Naples clients a heavy jet that will fly over most weather and land at fields where two-engine heavies would divert.
Dassault certified the Falcon 900EX in 1996 as the range-extended successor to the original Falcon 900, carrying three Honeywell TFE731 turbofans, an updated wing, and larger fuel tanks. The EASy avionics variant produced from 2003 to 2010 upgraded the cockpit. The airframe is 66.3 feet long, 63.4 feet wingspan, and 24.8 feet tall, with a cabin trimmed for 12 in a typical charter layout and up to 14 max.

Why the Dassault Falcon 900EX Fits Naples
The tri-jet architecture is a genuine Naples-market advantage for two reasons: it delivers an ETOPS-style overwater safety margin on Caribbean and Bahamas legs, and the 51,000-foot ceiling lifts the airframe above the daily 2 to 5 PM summer thunderstorm tops in a way that two-engine heavies with 45,000-foot ceilings cannot. For a Naples-to-Barbados or Naples-to-Antigua leg, that matters.
APF at 6,600 feet is the same case-by-case departure story as other transcontinental heavies: workable at partial fuel on a cool morning, tight at MTOW on a hot afternoon. Range at 4,500 nautical miles opens up Aspen and Denver as nonstop pairings and puts the West Coast return leg at a comfortable one-fuel-stop trip.
