Major Milestone For The French Jet Maker
Dassault Falcon has celebrated a major milestone in the
history of the Falcon aircraft family with the delivery of its
2000th Falcon at the Bordeaux-Mérignac facility. Since the
first delivery of the Falcon Mystère 20 in 1965, the Falcon
fleet has logged more than 14 million flight hours and 17 different
versions of the Falcon aircraft have been designed, produced and
delivered in 67 countries.
"Delivering our 2000th Falcon is more than a celebration of
success," declared John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault
Falcon. "It's a confirmation that all the qualities we've been
building on since the Falcon Mystère 20 are essential to
great flying."
The 2000th Falcon, a 2000LX was delivered to Koç Holding.
Based in Istanbul, Koç Holding is the largest company in
Turkey and a leader in both domestic and international markets. The
company is among the top 50 companies in Europe and a member of the
Fortune Global 200. The group focuses its operations on four core
industries: energy, automotive, durable goods and finance and is
active in 24 countries, in Turkey, Europe, the Middle East, and
China.
"We could not grow our business without our airplanes," declared
Mustafa V. Koç, Chairman of Koç Holding. "The
Koç Group of companies is spread out with production
facilities and dealer networks throughout the world. The business
demands fast and efficient travel and our airplanes represent
indispensable assets to our company growth.”
The 2000LX is the newest member of the Falcon family of business
jets. Koç Holding also owns a Falcon 2000 and holds an order
for a Falcon 900LX to be delivered at the end of 2011.
