Asia-Pacific Market Continues To Show Biz-Av Growth

Dassault Falcon delivered the first Falcon 7X to China on March 5th. Two more will be delivered to mainland China by the end of this month.

"This is a significant milestone for the Falcon 7X program and Dassault. The time has arrived for China to emerge as a strong market for business aviation," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "In anticipation of this growth, Dassault has increased customer support significantly and increased marketing activity throughout China and Asia." Last month, Dassault delivered the first Falcon 7X to India.

Dassault's Falcon 7X demonstrator recently completed a two week marketing tour through Asia and Australia culminating in its first appearance at the Singapore Air Show. During that time, 28 legs were flown over sixteen days with five off days. The aircraft accumulated 76 hours of pilot and executive demonstration flight time. "The response was very positive," added Rosanvallon.

The 5,950 nm Falcon 7X can connect Beijing with Paris, Sydney and San Francisco. It can also connect Shanghai with Auckland, Seattle, and London.
