"Our mission is to provide assistance on all operational aspects relative to the fleet and provide pilot assistance before, during and after delivery of a new aircraft" said Gérard Dailloux. "Our team consists of about 20 highly qualified pilots and engineers" he added. "And our motto is fly like you train, train like you fly!". Dailloux's team will be working closely with Dassault's training providers to provide the highest level of customer training. Special emphasis will be placed on using lessons learned from fleet operations and feedback from the training itself.

Gérard Dailloux brings 40 years of flight operations experience to the job. He most recently served within Dassault Aviation as Vice President, Safety of Flight for both civil and military aircraft. Prior to that, he had a 16 year career as a naval aviator on Etendard IV, Super Etendard, and Falcon 10. He joined Dassault in 1984 where he held several positions such as technical writer of the Aircraft Flight Manual for Mirage 2000 and Mirage IV. He joined the Safety of Flight department in 1988.

He is based in Dassault Aviation's Saint-Cloud headquarters, in France and reports directly to Olivier Villa.

To support this growing fleet, Falcon Customer Service recently relocated Falcon's Field Service Contact for India, Aadil Goulamaly to Mumbai. Aadil was previously based in Saint-Cloud, France providing operation, administrative and technical support to Falcon customers throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. Before joining Dassault Aviation, Aadil spent four years with a French regional airline and two years on French firefighter aircraft as an avionics technician. He then received a Master's degree in Aircraft Maintenance.

"Aadil has been working with us for four years now and has taken care of Indian customers from the beginning. His skills and experience made him the perfect candidate for this job." Stated Guillaume Landrivon, Director, Customer Relations & Field Service. "Customer Service already had three technical representatives in place in Singapore, Beijing and the Hong Kong region. Aadil's arrival will strengthen the team on the Asian Subcontinent and help them continue to deliver first-class field support."

Last month, Dassault Falcon also announced the opening of a spares distribution center in Mumbai, India. The inventory is valued at nearly $1.5 million U.S, which means that together with the Shanghai distribution center, Dassault Falcon has now approximately $8 million U.S. of Falcon Spares in the Asia-Pacific region. The Mumbai distribution center is managed by DHL. Through their bonded warehouse, DHL, in partnership with Team Aviation will be responsible for the import/export, shipping, receiving and transportation of Genuine Dassault Falcon Replacement Parts to operators from this warehouse.

"DHL has a long history with Dassault." said Frank Youngkin, Vice President, Falcon Customer Service, adding "We've been working together for 25 years now, from both our Le Bourget and Teterboro distribution centers. Our operators will continue to order parts directly from Dassault's support hotline and the order will generate a shipment from the correct distribution point for a timely delivery to the operator."

Dassault Falcon currently has Authorized Service Centers in Singapore and Dubai. To support its customers in India, local service centers are currently being evaluated. Dassault's presence in the country also includes a liaison office in New Delhi. That office serves both the Indian civil and military fleet which includes 50 Mirage fighter jets.

(Farnborough, Great Britain, July 14, 2008) - Bhakari Aviation and Execujet South Africa, located at Lanseria International Airport in South Africa, recently joined the Dassault Falcon Authorized Service Center Network. "Lanseria is the most convenient business aviation airport for Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city," said Jacques Chauvet, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Customer Service.

Both Execujet and Bhakari will provide scheduled and unscheduled maintenance support, transient service, troubleshooting, AOG support and basic inspections. "One of our top priorities is a strong service presence in South Africa, especially for the Falcon 7X which is a very popular airplane in the region," declared Chauvet.

Dassault Falcon has also reached an agreement with Palmali at Ataturk Airport in Turkey to provide Service Center support. The Palmali facility will provide AOG assistance as well as scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and warranty repair work for Falcon aircraft. It is currently undergoing an EASA audit after which it will be granted full authorization to work on the Falcon 50, 2000 and 900 family of aircraft later this year. In the meantime, Dassault Falcon Service at Paris, Le Bourget has dispatched a company representative to assist them for all Falcon related work.

"We have a growing number of Falcon operators in the Middle East as well as increasing transient traffic," commented Chauvet. "This agreement will be a great benefit to both."

The worldwide Falcon service and maintenance capacity is increasing at a rapid pace. In Europe alone capacity is expected to expand up to 40% in the next 5 years. Falcon Customer Service has launched a 20 M$ investment program to extend the capacity of its own service stations in Le Bourget (Dassault Falcon Service) and Little Rock. With the addition of the new partnerships reached, the Falcon network now includes 3 factory-owned and 30 Authorized Service Centers. The company also has nine spares distributions centers and three highly advanced Technical Call centers for 24/7 support anywhere in the world.
