Dassault Falcon is presenting the Falcon 7X and the Falcon 2000LX at the Asian Business Aviation Conference Exhibition (ABACE), from March 27-29. Falcon Customer Service will also hold its first ever Falcon M&O (Maintenance and Operations) seminar in Shanghai.

Eight Falcon business jets are in operation in China and Dassault expects that number to triple before the end of 2012. Most of the company's new orders are for the Falcon 7X, twenty of which are currently set for delivery to Chinese customers. The Falcon 2000S has also been well received in the country: Minsheng Financial signed a Memorandum of Understanding for 10 of the twin-jets in October 2011.

"We sold our first new Falcon to China in 2006 and the market has now grown to become our largest for new aircraft orders, and the most promising," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "Dassault Falcon continues to solidify and grow its market position by adding to its sales and customer service teams and making significant capital investments in the country." Dassault opened a new marketing office in Beijing in 2010 with a similar office opening recently in Shanghai.

Falcon M&O Comes to Shanghai

The first Falcon Maintenance and Operations (M&O) seminar to be held in Shanghai will be specifically tailored to the needs of Chinese customers and will focus both on operational and technical issues. M&O seminars are designed to help aircraft operators improve the efficiency, reliability and safety of their operations. Topics will range from the latest customer service and engineering support initiatives to enhancements in troubleshooting and product reliability. There will also be dedicated pilot sessions. The one-day event will include interaction with model and support specialists as well as Authorized Service Centers, vendors and partners.

Falcon Business Jets Ideal for China Market

The Dassault Falcon product range includes four large-cabin models: the tri-jet Falcon 7X and Falcon 900LX and the twin-jet Falcon 2000LX and Falcon 2000S. They share a number of common features, including flexible range, large and comfortable cabin interiors, efficient and economical performance and advanced technology derived from Dassault's considerable military experience. Dassault introduced the Falcon 2000S into the super mid-size category in 2011 as an entry level option to the Falcon family offering outstanding performance, a luxurious, roomy interior and ultra-low operating costs for a price tag comparable to the smaller models featured by its competitors.
