Like many OEMs, Dassault Aviation has been steadily increasing its global service network, and the company gave AIN a brief update on its recent progress at NBAA-BACE. In May, the manufacturer opened a new major service center under its ExecuJet MRO brand at Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport (OMDW), capable of accommodating up to 15 aircraft.

“For us it's important because it is a place where we will do new aircraft deliveries,” explained Jean Kayanakis, the airframer’s senior v-p for worldwide customer service and service centers. “One of the first [Falcon] 6x operators will be based in the region.”
