Dassault Aviation, though formally dating from the post WWII era, originated in WWI with Marcel Dassault’s creation of the Éclair propeller, fitted on SPAD fighters and noticeably improving performance.
Thus began a heritage of precision, performance, and even beauty, which was always considered when designing a new aircraft. The first business jet from Dassault, the Falcon 20, flew in 1963 and entered service in 1965.
As the Falcon fleet grew, so did the service organization, with factory service in the U.S., then elsewhere. Today that network includes a global MRO network of 40 factory service locations and 20 additional authorized service centers. As new service locations have come online, they have often done so with direct assistance from the experienced team at DABS. Moreover, DABS constantly dispatches its experts around the world to support AOG repairs and assist other centers as they introduce new capabilities.
