Dassault Aviation approved Sabena Technics as a major authorized service center for the Falcon 10, 20 and 50. The aircraft will be serviced at Sabena Technics’ Dinard, France facility, which specializes in the maintenance, repair and overhaul of business, regional and military aircraft.
Sabena's facility is equipped with a 35,800-sq-ft, four-aircraft hangar dedicated to Falcon 10, 20 and 50 activities, and offers paintwork and a full complement of backshop capabilities, including cabin interior, non-destructive testing, avionics and electromechanical hardware repair and refurbishment. It is staffed by a team of 75 technicians and repair specialists, including more than 40 licensed to work on Falcons.
This agreement is the latest in a series of approvals intended to reinforce Dassault Falcon’s global network. Last year it added authorized service centers in India and Nigeria to serve operators in those fast growing areas. Ligare Aviation Engineering of Delhi was appointed to provide AOG support for the Falcon 7X, while ExecuJet Aviation Nigeria of Lagos was approved to handle line maintenance for the Falcon 7X, 900 and 2000.
