All Current Production Falcons Now Certified in China

(Singapore, February 2, 2010) – Dassault Falcon recently received Type Certification for the 5,950 nm Falcon 7X from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).  The Falcon 7X is the latest current production Falcon to be certified by the Chinese authorities.  The Falcon 900 family and Falcon 2000 family were both certified several years ago.

"Before the end of the first quarter of this year, we will have delivered three Falcon 7Xs in mainland China,” said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon.  "As an industry, we’ve been waiting for China to emerge as a strong force for several years.  That time has arrived and this certification will not only help Dassault Falcon continue to grow in China but will be of vital importance to all of our operators.”

The Falcon 7X can connect Beijing with Paris, France; Sydney, Australia and San Francisco, California.  It can also connect Shanghai with Auckland, New Zealand; Seattle, Washington and London, England.
