The Dassault Falcon 2000LX was released over a decade after the release of the successful Falcon 2000. It still has all of the components that made the Falcon 2000 series great – economy, speed, a large cabin – but improved on all of these elements to make an even better jet. The long-range Falcon 2000LX, essentially the EX model with the addition of winglets, is the most advanced and up-to-date aircraft in the series. The 2000LX replaced the Falcon 2000EX in 2008 and deliveries of the 2000LX are scheduled to begin in 2010. In April 2009, the Falcon 2000LX received certification from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In July 2009, the 2,000th Falcon, a 2000LX, was delivered to Istanbul-based Koc Holding at the Bordeaux-Mérignac facility.
