Dassault Aviation boosted customer support with the inauguration of a new Dassault Falcon Service (DFS) facility at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport on November 10. Located beside the French airframer’s final assembly line, the new complex adds 527,448 sq ft (49,000 sq m) of space for Falcon maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) support, including a 77,502 sq ft (7,200 sq m) hangar. It will be able to accommodate up to six of the largest Falcons (the 7X, 8X and 5X) at the same time.
