Dassault Aviation continues to invest in ramping up its customer support with more service centers and tools for Falcon operators and maintenance professionals. The company is preparing to open its new maintenance facility this fall in Bordeaux-Merignac, France to handle Falcon overhauls. The company broke ground last fall on the 7,200-square-meter (77,500-square-foot) facility, which will handle six Falcon 7Xs and/or 8Xs, and is anticipating a grand opening in November, said Olivier Villa, senior v-p civil aircraft for Dassault Aviation.
