Several dozen employees at Dassault Falcon Service (DFS), Dassault’s FBO, maintenance provider and air charter operator at Paris Le Bourget airport, demonstrated in front of Dassault’s headquarters in Saint-Cloud on April 10. On strike since January, the employees are asking for better salaries and have voiced concern about the transfer of activities to the parent company.

DFS’ human resources director told AIN that the agreement the majority union is opposing has thus become null and void. He added that this agreement included improved pay.
