Exxaero (XRO, Eindhoven) has added a first Falcon 8X, ch-aviation research reveals.
PH-UTL (msn 498) was first active under the company's 'XRO' code on February 13, 2025, flying between Geneva and Maastricht and performing a number of touch-and-goes at Paris Chalons-Vatry along the way. The 2.3-year-old aircraft then continued to Eindhoven before flying to Cannes Mandelieu, where it is now based.
Previously registered as N498FJ, it was active only three times between November 2024 and February 2025, conducting test flights around Dinard/St. Malo and Geneva.
The Falcon 8X joins Exxaero’s all-Dassault Aviation aircraft, which includes three Falcon 900s - a Falcon 900(B), a Falcon 900B, and a Falcon 900(LX). In 2024, the company retired all three Falcon 7X aircraft it operated. A German division, Exxaero (Germany), operates a Hawker 750 and a Premier IA.
