Dassault Falcon Jet’s recent appointments of John Rahilly and Todd McGahey mark the latest efforts by the manufacturer to market the customer-support offerings at its two company-owned service centers in Little Rock, Ark., and Wilmington, Del. The Wilmington facility has been under an expansion and modernization program, albeit somewhat delayed, since the company bought the one-time Atlantic Aviation flagship facility and authorized Falcon service center a little over two years ago.
Rahilly has been named v-p of national sales and marketing for the company’s service network organization. Well known in the business aviation industry, Rahilly also has considerable experience with Dassault, having managed the largest independent authorized Falcon service center at the former K-C Aviation in Appleton, Wis., and he worked for Signature/BBA for a time. Most recently he served as v-p of operations for the Mercury Air Center FBO chain, but the bulk of his career was as president at K-C Aviation until Gulfstream Aerospace acquired the company in 1999.
