FOSTER'S FALCONS
NetJets Europe has commissioned architect Lord Norman Foster to design the interior and livery of its fleet of 33 Dassault Falcon 7X business jets. Two of the ultra-long-range types have already been delivered to the Lisbon, Portugal-based company, while two 7Xs will be added this year and the remainder within eight years. The livery, which has a dark blue horizontal stripe across the cabin windows and cockpit, will also be rolled out across the company's entire 160-strong fleet.
DASSAULT EXPANSION
Dassault Falcon Service has put the finishing touches to its maintenance facility at Paris Le Bourget airport. The 10-month project has added 3,810m² (41,000ft²) of hangar space, enough to accommodate four Falcon 7Xs or seven Falcon 900s simultaneously and an additional 840m² of office and warehouse space.
MEXICAN MANAGEMENT
ExecuJet's Mexican subsidiary is expanding its charter and management operation in an attempt to expand its footprint in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Monterrey-based company took delivery of a Bombardier Global Express and Dassault Falcon 900B on 1 January. The business jets join four Pilatus PC-12s single engine turboprops a 7X, Challenger 300 and a Falcon 2000 in service.
AVCON ADDITION
Austria's Avcon Jet has added a Bombardier Challenger 300 to its 14-strong charter fleet. The super-midsize business jet will be based in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
