Dassault Aviation has inaugurated its Dassault Falcon Service (DFS) Center at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport in southwest France. The new MRO is intended to meet the increase in repair and overhaul services for the Falcon 7X and other Falcon models.
Located next to the Dassault Aviation assembly plant, the complex measures 49,000m² , with a 7,200m² hangar. It can accommodate up to six Falcon 7X, 8X or 5X aircraft at a time, and will complement the company's existing installations, which have been located at Paris-Le Bourget Airport since 1967. The facility will handle C checks, structural repair, cabin refurbishment and modifications, avionics upgrades, carpentry and paintwork.
