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.
The additional MRO infrastructure, which also includes a paint shop and modifications capability, supports a growing fleet of Falcon 6X twinjets. Dassault is also preparing to provide support for its latest 10X model, which is expected to enter service in 2027.
Last month, Dassault reported that it delivered another 12 Falcons during the first half of 2025. The company’s backlog now stands at 75 units, and it is expecting to log 40 more Falcon sales during the course of this year.
