Dassault Aviation’s new Falcon service center in Melbourne, Florida, has been fully operational for almost a month, the company said this week. The purpose-built, 175,000-sq-ft facility, which officially opened on July 7, can accommodate up to 15 of the French aircraft manufacturer’s business jets at a time.

More than 100 technical staff have been recruited to support Falcon operators throughout the Americas from the maintenance, repair, and overhaul base at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (KMLB). The facility represents Dassault’s biggest investment in the U.S. since it opened its completions and service center in Little Rock, Arkansas.
