Dassault’s 500th FalconCare Maintenance Contract

Dassault Aviation recently signed its 500th contract for its FalconCare guaranteed maintenance programme and further expanded the programme - already the most comprehensive in the industry - to meet a broader range of customer needs and budgets. Introduced in 2005, FalconCare offers a full range of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance services through C-Check, including airframe, avionics and landing gear parts, labour, consumables, service bulletins and maintenance tracking. This comprehensive coverage ensures predictable and stable annual maintenance costs for operators of Falcon aircraft. It provides maintenance coverage everywhere on the planet through more than 60 Dassault Owned and Authorised Service Centers and 16 Falcon Spares distribution centers.

The new programme expansion, based on feedback from flight departments and the Falcon Operator Advisory Board, enhances the flexibility of the pay-as-you-go Falcon Care service plan by offering operators two different levels of coverage, in accordance with their actual maintenance requirements. Each plan includes a FalconCare Efficiency Bonus, which financially rewards operators engaging in the most cost-effective maintenance practices. And both allow operators to establish a Flex Spending Account for miscellaneous costs outside FalconCare coverage.
