AIN has learned that Dassault has reduced the size of the Falcon 7X-dedicated facility extension the company plans to build at its Bordeaux-Mérignac plant. In September, Dassault announced plans for an 18-position assembly hall. The plant was to be built in two phases for a total area of 290,000 sq ft (excluding offices).

Some company officials previously told AIN that no change had been made to these plans. However, according to Gérald Maria, a senior executive at the plant, the facility will be 237,000 sq ft (excluding offices) and the construction will take place in a single phase. This will make a 14-position facility. Completion is pegged for July next year.
