Falcon Luxe will also unveil a new premium cabin design, in a bid to attract high-spending travellers to flights that can top 14 hours.

Today, Falcon sets a new industry standard in private aviation and supports Dubai’s vision to become a global private aviation hub. It is set to become a leading private jet operator in the region, attracting more wealthy travellers to the UAE.”
