Dassault Falcon Service (DFS) on April 1 officially began operations from Farnborough Airport, the main European business airport rival to Paris Le Bourget, which serves as DFS’s headquarters. DFS president Christian Sasso told AIN that his company has taken an office at Farnborough and that DFS already has a Falcon 900EX registered in the UK.
“The unit at Farnborough was in fact established in 2003, at which time we followed UK procedures for an aircraft operators’ certificate, which was delivered this year. So the Farnborough operation really came into effect only at the beginning of last month, the date from which we are authorized to operate aircraft registered in the UK,” he said. Sasso confirmed that DFS is considering whether to register other aircraft in the UK so it can base them at Farnborough. “As far as I know, Dassault Falcon Service is the only Le Bourget-based company to operate from the United Kingdom,” he said.
