(Little Rock, AR, February 13, 2009) – Dassault Aircraft Services (DAS) – Little Rock
recently completed an expansion project that doubled the service space to 110,000 square
feet at its Adams Field (LIT) facility. DAS-Little Rock can now service up to 15 Falcons
simultaneously with over 100 experienced Dassault Falcon trained maintenance
technicians on-site.
“Now more than ever our customers’ airplanes need to be ready to go at a moment’s
notice. Being prepared to service any Falcon under any situation is paramount,” said
Jack Young, President of Dassault Aircraft Services. “Even in these difficult times, our
factory owned service center network continues to grow so we can help our operators
stay competitive in their marketplace.”
DAS-Little Rock is a full Maintenance Repair and Overhaul facility offering line
maintenance up through heavy ‘C’ checks on all Falcon models. It also includes an AOG
‘Go Team’ to provide mobile response directly to an aircraft location anywhere in United
States with the parts and tools necessary to get a Falcon flying with minimal delay.
The $10 million project broke ground in the third quarter of 2007 and was completed at
the end of December 2008. In addition to the new hangar, ‘back shop’ capacity also
increased. The back shops handle light refurbishments of aircraft interiors and structures,
a task that was previously handled by the Completion Center. A new 65,000 square foot
paint hangar to serve both aircraft completions and modifications was opened in
September of 2008
Factory Owned Service Center Capacity Increases
Factory Owned Service Center capacity has increased dramatically over the past six
months and will continue to grow. In August 2008, plans were revealed for a new service
center at Sorocaba Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil and plans were revealed for a new service
center in Reno, Nevada the following month. Dassault Aircraft Services – Le Bourget
recently completed a 50,000 square foot expansion.
The Dassault Falcon service network consists of 28 worldwide maintenance centers
including three company owned facilities in Little Rock, Arkansas; Wilmington,
Delaware and Le Bourget (Paris), France with two more under construction in Reno,
Nevada and Sao Paulo, Brazil. In addition, Dassault distributes Falcon spare parts from
nine distribution centers strategically placed around the world.
