Dassault Adds Falcon Classic to M&O Program

Dassault has expanded its 2017 Falcon Maintenance and Operations (M&O) offerings, recently holding its first “Falcon Classic” program covering out-of-production models.

The Falcon Classic meeting, which occurred last month in Dallas, was tailored for operators of models such as Falcon 10s, 20s and 50s. “The M&O seminar series has been an annual tradition since 1966, attracting hundreds of attendees,” said Jacques Chauvet, Dassault Aviation senior v-p of worldwide Falcon customer service. ”But we also recognized that many of the earliest Falcons that we built are still flying. The Falcon Classic forum, which drew over 100 operators, was created to address the needs of this unique community.”

For newer models, Dassault is planning eight M&O seminars around the world that kick off April 11 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and conclude in Mahwah, New Jersey, on May 18. The M&O Series details Dassault’s latest products and services, including the FalconResponse AOG support services, and provides model-specific technical information. Dassault Aviation’s partners will be at each seminar to answer operators' questions.

More than 2,100 Falcons are currently flying with 1,225 operators in 90 countries.

In addition to West Palm Beach and Mahwah, the M&O seminars are scheduled for April 12 in Shanghai; April 18 in Seattle; April 20 in Chicago; April 26 and 27 in Paris; May 10 in São Paulo; and May 16 in Dallas.
