(Teterboro, New Jersey, June 15, 2009) – Dassault Falcon’s new factory owned service
center at Sorocaba Airport (SOD) in Sao Pãulo, Brazil recently received Repair Station
Certification from Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC). Dassault
Aircraft Services (DAS) –Sao Pãulo is authorized to perform line maintenance and all
multiples of “A” checks on Brazilian registered F10/F100, F50/50EX, all Falcon 2000
and 900 Series models, as well as the Falcon 7X.
“Part of our plan to offer industry-leading customer service is to expand our reach, and
provide a broad scope of services for our operators wherever they may fly,” said John
Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. “The Falcon fleet in South America
has been growing at a very fast pace. This new service center fills an important role for
our valued customers in this region.” A Repair Station application has been filed with the
FAA to work on U.S. registered Falcons with approval expected by the end of the third
quarter of 2009. EASA Repair Station approvals will be sought in the fall of 2009.
In addition to airframe inspections and service, the facility can perform engine line
maintenance on the CFE-738; Honeywell TFE731-2/3/5AR/5BR/40/60 and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW307A, PW308C models. Specialized non-destructive testing
(NDT) services, such as Penetrant and Eddy Current methods can also be performed. A
full service battery shop will be available to repair, replace or charge main and
emergency batteries on Falcon or other aircraft models.
DAS-São Paulo will support an AOG ‘Go Team’ to provide rapid mobile response
directly to an aircraft location anywhere in South America with the parts and tools
necessary to get a Falcon flying with minimal delay. The facility will be supported by
over $1.5 million (U.S.) in high usage parts located in São Paulo at both Sorocaba and
Congonhas Airports. The 23,000 square foot facility will also be used to hangar up to
three Falcons.
Expanded Service
In the last five months alone, Dassault Falcon has made significant expansions to its
service centers in Little Rock and Le Bourget, in addition to opening a new 40,000 square
foot company-owned service center in Reno, Nevada. The expansion at the Little Rock
facility doubled the service space to 110,000 square feet, providing the ability to service
up to 15 Falcons simultaneously. A new 50,000 square foot service center hangar in Le
Bourget can accommodate four Falcon 7Xs or seven Falcon 900s simultaneously and an
additional 9,000 square feet of office and warehouse space.
