Facility Will Serve Falcon Owners Throughout Western US
Dassault Falcon recently announced plans for a new factory-owned
service center at the Reno-Tahoe Airport in Nevada. The new
facility will open by the end of the first quarter of 2009, and
will help to support a rapidly-expanding Falcon fleet in the
western United States.
"The western United States has experienced a sharp increase in
demand for new Falcons over the past five years," said John
Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "This facility
in Reno is significant for not only the increased support in that
part of the country but also the overall coverage that this adds
for the entire United States."
The nearly 40,000 square foot facility will eventually be
staffed by over 40 highly skilled Dassault Falcon personnel that
will be trained to perform line maintenance up through 'C' checks.
They will also support an AOG 'Go Team' to provide rapid 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 facility will support all current production Falcon models,
as well as the Falcon 50 series which operate in a high
concentration in the area.
"This establishes Reno as a worldwide player on the aviation
stage," said Krys Bart, executive director of Reno-Tahoe
International Airport, during the announcement ceremony Monday at
Reno-Tahoe Airport. "In these challenging times, it's an honor to
welcome them."
The Reno Journal-Gazette reports Dassault will locate the repair
facility in a leased, former American Airlines hangar at RNO. The
company plans to begin local recruiting efforts in January.
