Business jets traveling to the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this month are being supported by extensive OEM services. Dassault Falcon Jet is providing full support, including a 24/7 Falcon Command Center, mobile repair teams, a local service center and ground crews on call to assist customer needs for the length of the Games, which conclude on August 21. Dassault Aircraft Services’ company service center in Sorocaba, near São Paolo, has added $4 million in spare parts to its existing $6 million inventory to beef up the local support capability.
