Hyerabad: Dassault Aviation, French manufacturer of military aircraft and business jets, will deliver 10 long-range Falcon 8Xs globally, including one to an Indian corporate customer, this year. This was revealed by the company’s senior vice-president (civil aircraft), Olivier Villa.
The large-cabin trijet business jet, 3.2 feet longer than its predecessor Falcon 7X, is set to be certified in mid-2016. The Falcon 8X can fly non-stop from anywhere in India to destinations such as London City Airport.
“We have been seeing good traction in the Indian market and expect the country’s accelerated economic growth to translate into rising Falcon sales going forward,” said Villa.
Currently, 22 aircraft from the Falcon family are in service in India. According to the company, a majority of new Indian Falcon orders are for longer range models such as the Falcon 7X and Falcon 8X.
