Dassault Falcon and Aerospace Products International (API), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Aviation Services, Inc. have expanded their logistics services agreement to support Dassault Falcon customers operating in China, Hong Kong and Macau. Under the expanded agreement, API's Shanghai distribution center will provide parts logistics services for all Falcon needs, including AOG events, in China and surrounding markets. As part of this supply chain program, API will stock spare parts in API Shanghai's bonded warehouse and will provide import and export services, customs clearance and parts dispatch into China and surrounding countries to meet the demand. With the updated agreement, API will expand its warehousing capacity fourfold.

"We revealed earlier this year, that Dassault will triple the number of Falcons based in China during 2012 so we've planned a rapid expansion of our service offerings in China," said John Rosanvallon, president and ceo of Dassault Falcon. "Our spares efforts are of critical importance in that effort."

"API is pleased with the progress we have made in our partnership with Dassault," said Dr. Ahmed Metwalli, API's president & chief operating officer. "The aviation logistics and global spare parts distribution expertise within our Shanghai operations provide customers with outstanding around-the-clock support and deliver rapid, error-free logistics services to DFJ's customers in the region. Our China subsidiary has been supporting Dassault for over five years and this newly expanded agreement reflects Dassault's confidence in the Chinese market and their satisfaction with API's support of their customers."
