Dassault Falcon Jet, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has announced the decision to construct a new maintenance facility at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (KMLB). The project will be a part of the company’s ambitious worldwide expansion of its maintenance, repair and overhaul network. Construction of the new facility at the Melbourne airport is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2023 and the inauguration is set for late 2024.
The 175,000 square-foot Orlando airport facility will accommodate all current Falcon models, (including the new, ultra-long range Falcon 10X, the largest purpose-built business jet), and will be capable of performing major maintenance and modifications services on up to 18 Falcon jet models simultaneously. The new facility is expected to serve customers across North and South America and also other regions.
