The aviation community was rocked by news of the passing of Serge Dassault, 93, on Monday, the day before the business aviation community gathered for EBACE 2018 in Geneva. Dassault is believed to have suffered heart failure while at his office in Paris.

Groupe Dassault, the company which he owned and led for many years following the death of his father—company founder Marcel Dassault—in 1986, issued the following statement: “It is with an infinite sadness that we learn of the death of Mr. Serge Dassault, chairman, and CEO of Groupe Dassault, and the former chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation. Dassault Aviation’s management, engineers, technicians, employees, and workers all send their deepest and most sincere condolences to Mrs. Dassault, her children, and grandchildren.”
