Dassault's Mérignac Service Center Turns 5

Falcon Maintenance Facility Expands Coverage to 900EX, 2000EX, and 6X

Dassault's Falcon Service center collocated with their final Saint-Cloud, France turns 5 years old as the company moves into 2022.

DFS Mérignac opened in 2016 with 6 service bays, 7,500 square feet, and everything needed for complete C-checks on the Falcon 7X and 8X trijets. The checks must be performed every 8 years or after 4,000 hours of service, and are often accompanied by further upgrades and overhauls while convenient. The facility will now expand its available service to additional Falcon models, including the 900EX EASy, the 2000EX EASy, and the soon to come, extra-widebody Falcon 6X. 

The Mérignac center has seen continuous demand from its opening day, having operated at 100% capacity from the start, completing 35 of the 53 Falcon 7X C-checks completed at the Dassault Bordeaux location.

The center employs 62 specialists to provide structural repair, cabin refurbishment, avionics upgrades, carpentry, paintwork, and heavy maintenance.

The expansion of supported models provides owners with Dassault-approved, expert workmanship for some of the most important work to keep their investments airworthy. 

“The Mérignac facility has proved indispensable in multiple ways,” said Jean Kayanakis, senior vice president of customer service. “It has helped taking some of the heavy maintenance load off [Dassault's final assembly facility's] busy Paris/Le Bourget facility.

Besides, as the service facility most closely linked to our production and engineering teams, it is ideally suited to resolve complex maintenance issues. With the Dassault Aviation customer service organization now relocated from Paris to Mérignac, the service center has also become a resource for supporting maintenance solutions worldwide. Customers also appreciate its location just outside the attractive city of Bordeaux.”
