Solar Impulse Chief Heats Up Dassault's NBAA 2011 Breakfast
Dassault Falcon kicked off its traditional Falcon Family breakfast at NBAA 2011.
Dassault Falcon kicked off its traditional Falcon Family breakfast at NBAA 2011 with a message from chairman Charles Edestenne that the industry must unite to combat threats to its development. He stressed that business aviation is not a luxury, rather, it buys time, which he described as an essential competitive advantage in today’s world.
He also said that the most important market for most manufacturers now is China, given the financial troubles in the U.S. and Europe and political instability in the Middle East. He pointed to the fact that Dassault has invested heavily in Southeast Asia to add parts inventory and extra manpower, and said that the company was evaluating adding a new facility, which would likely be near Beijing, China.
