Connect With a Specialist
Ultra Long Range Defined
Ultra long range jets are the highest-performing category in business aviation—aircraft capable of non-stop intercontinental travel exceeding six thousand nautical miles. Defined by exceptional range, full stand-up cabin volume, and mission versatility, they connect city pairs that no other business jet class can reach without a technical stop. Understanding this distinction is the essential first step for any charter or acquisition decision at this level.
Charter Versus Aircraft Ownership
For most principals, the choice between chartering and owning an ultra long range business jet is a mission-frequency and operational decision. Charter provides on-demand intercontinental access without fixed costs or management obligations. Ownership delivers schedule control in exchange for operational responsibilities that require a qualified management partner. ACASS advises on both paths with the expertise to charter, manage, or acquire the right aircraft.
Our Ultra Long Range Fleet
ACASS operates two confirmed ultra long range aircraft available for charter under its Canadian Air Operator Certificate: the 2016 Dassault Falcon 8X and the 2011 Bombardier Global Express XRS. Both platforms serve intercontinental and transatlantic missions where non-stop range, cabin volume, and passenger comfort over extended flight durations are the defining requirements.
Fleet Specifications
Dassault Falcon 8X
The 2016 Dassault Falcon 8X is a trijet ultra long range aircraft accommodating up to 10 passengers with a 13-hour range and 19-piece luggage capacity. Its three-engine configuration provides access to shorter and higher-altitude runways that twin-engine platforms cannot always serve, expanding available departure and arrival airports. Optimized for long-duration transatlantic and intercontinental comfort, the Falcon 8X is available for charter under ACASS’s Canadian Air Operator Certificate.
Bombardier Global Express XRS
The 2011 Bombardier Global Express XRS is an ultra long range business jet accommodating up to 13 passengers with an approximately 12.5-hour range and 25-piece luggage capacity—the highest passenger and baggage capacity of ACASS’s two confirmed ultra long range platforms. Designed for demanding intercontinental missions where passenger count and baggage volume are priority considerations, the Global Express XRS is available for charter under ACASS’s Canadian Air Operator Certificate.
Aircraft Selection and Mission Planning
Selecting the right ultra long range aircraft requires matching the platform to the mission. Routing distance, passenger count, cabin configuration preferences, and departure airport capabilities all determine the optimal choice. ACASS specialists advise across both confirmed ultra long range platforms, drawing on more than 30 years of operational experience across 56 countries. Every charter recommendation is built around specific trip requirements, not a generic availability list.
Aircraft Management
Owning an ultra long range business jet means accepting full responsibility for crew management, regulatory compliance, maintenance oversight, and around-the-clock operational support. ACASS absorbs these obligations through its aircraft management program, operating managed aircraft under its Canadian Air Operator Certificate. IS-BAO Stage 3 certification governs the safety management framework applied to every managed aircraft.
Aircraft Acquisition with ACASS
Acquiring an ultra long range business jet requires market intelligence, technical due diligence, contract negotiation, and entry-into-service logistics. ACASS has overseen more than $2B in aircraft transactions across 56 countries, with OEM-experienced consultants advising on buy-side and sell-side engagements. As an IADA Accredited Dealer since 2019, ACASS applies verified accreditation standards to every acquisition engagement from initial brief through to aircraft delivery.
Safety Credentials and Certifications
Every ACASS charter and managed aircraft operation is governed by independently awarded third-party certifications. IS-BAO Stage 3 was awarded in 2017—the highest level of the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations—independently audited and renewed on a defined cycle. ARGUS Gold certification has been maintained since 2013 through continuous independent safety auditing. IADA Accredited Dealer status has been held since 2019. All credentials are independently awarded and maintained across ACASS operations worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Ultra long range jets are business aircraft capable of non-stop intercontinental travel exceeding six thousand nautical miles, connecting city pairs that no other business jet class can reach without a technical stop. They are defined by full stand-up cabins, configurations supporting long-duration passenger comfort including sleeping areas and separate dining zones, and the speed and range required for the most demanding global business travel missions. This combination of capability and cabin environment places them in a distinct class.
-
ACASS operates two confirmed ultra long range aircraft for charter under its Canadian Air Operator Certificate: the 2016 Dassault Falcon 8X and the 2011 Bombardier Global Express XRS. The Falcon 8X accommodates up to 10 passengers with a 13-hour range and 19-piece luggage capacity.

An ACASS specialist advises on aircraft selection based on routing, passenger count, and operational requirements.
-
Chartering an ultra long range business jet typically makes more sense when intercontinental travel is infrequent or when flexibility across different aircraft platforms is more valuable than a fixed asset. Ownership becomes advantageous when annual flight hours are consistently high, schedule control is a priority, and the aircraft will be used regularly on the same long-range routes. ACASS advises on both paths and can arrange charter access or manage an owned aircraft under its Canadian Air Operator Certificate.
