The Falcon 2000 and Challenger 350 are two of the most popular super-midsize jets — both wide-cabin, transcontinental twins, but the Falcon trades a little cabin width for short-field ability and Dassault's fly-by-wing efficiency.

Which Should You Buy: Dassault Falcon 2000 or Bombardier Challenger 350?

Bottom line: Choose the Falcon 2000 for excellent short-field/steep-approach performance (London City capable on later variants), lower fuel burn and Dassault build quality; choose the Challenger 350 for the widest flat-floor cabin in the class and the largest support/operator base. Falcon = efficiency/short-field; Challenger = cabin width/fleet ubiquity.
