Dassault Falcon Service (Booth No. 1357) has spent much of this year preparing to provide support for the new Falcon 7X. The factory-owned service center at Paris Le Bourget Airport has already made a significant investment in training and tooling, and is expanding its facilities to accommodate the French airframer’s largest model.
Around 15 of the three-engine jets are due to be delivered by the end of the year. Dassault is also preparing to ramp up annual production to a rate of 35 to 40 aircraft.
This month the company started building a 46,000-sq-ft hangar that will accommodate up to four 7Xs simultaneously. This new structure should be ready next summer. In May, Dassault Falcon Service had to widen the doors of its existing ramp service hangar to fit the 7X’s 86-foot wingspan. This building, which is used for troubleshooting repairs, can also house two Falcon 900s alongside a 7X.
