Facility Will Add Almost 100 New Jobs
On Tuesday, Dassault Aircraft
Services told ANN of expansion plans for the company's Little Rock
Service Center, that will double the service square footage when
the project in complete near the end of 2008.
Nearly 100 jobs will be added over the next three years as a
result of this expansion with a majority of the jobs being aircraft
maintenance technicians and craftsmen.
"Over one year ago, I announced that Dassault is committed to
reaching the premier level of customer service in business
aviation," said Charles Edelstenne, Chairman and CEO of Dassault
Aviation. "This initiative demonstrates that Dassault is continuing
to make significant investments to achieve that goal."
The nearly $10 million project will break ground in the third
quarter of 2007 and will be complete in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The new hangar will be able to accommodate up to six additional
aircraft and will feature new 'back shop' capacity. The back shops
will handle light refurbishments of aircraft interiors and
structures, a task that was previously handled by the Completion
Center.
The new hangar will be located next to the existing Service
Center.
"Over the past several years, the historic demand for Falcons
has required Dassault to continuously grow and improve our Service
Center network," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of
Dassault Falcon. "And with the Falcon 7X now in service, we expect
increased demand on our factory owned Service Centers which
operators have come to rely on their in-depth knowledge of
Falcons."
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.
