Doubled Space Of MRO Facility
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
2008.
Dassault noted its Factory Owned Service Center capacity has
increased dramatically over the past six months. 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, AR; Wilmington, DE and Le Bourget (Paris), France with
two more under construction in Reno, NV and Sao Paulo, Brazil. In
addition, Dassault distributes Falcon spare parts from nine
distribution centers strategically placed around the world.
