Dassault Falcon Jet Considers Closing Wilmington MRO Site
Dassault Falcon Jet said its Wilmington, Delaware, service center faces "continuing challenges" and the company is currently in dispute with local unions.

Dassault Falcon Jet is weighing whether to shutter its heavy service center at New Castle Airport in Wilmington, Delaware, the French airframer told AIN. Operating from four hangar bays totaling more than 300,000 sq ft, the 21-year-old site also includes a paint shop and FBO for Falcon operators.

According to the company, there are “continuing challenges specifically facing the Wilmington facility,” and its management team met earlier this week with the site’s union representatives to discuss “steps that may need to be taken in the future.”
