The Falcon 8X receives EASA certification
Saint-Cloud, France, June 27, 2016 - Dassault Aviation is pleased to announce
the certification of the Falcon 8X by the European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA).
This certification is exactly as anticipated in the program schedule. American
certification will shortly be issued by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). First deliveries of the Falcon 8X will therefore be possible at the
beginning of the fourth quarter, as announced when the aircraft was launched in
May 2014.
"Not only did we develop a Falcon which is exactly in line with the needs of our
customers in terms of range, comfort and operational flexibility, but we also
did so in record time and with an unparalleled process to ensure aircraft
reliability and maturity", said Eric Trappier, Dassault Aviation Chairman and
CEO.
The 26(th) Falcon 8X is currently in final assembly in the Mérignac plant, while
twelve aircraft are in cabin outfitting in the Little Rock plant (Arkansas,
United States).

About the Falcon 8X:
Derived from the Falcon 7X, the Falcon 8X first flew on February 6, 2015. It
will offer the greatest range and the longest cabin of any Falcon, allowing it
to fly passengers comfortably from Beijing to New York, Hong Kong to London or
Los Angeles to Moscow nonstop. It will also share the 7X's exceptional operating
economy and short-field performance. In addition to the quietest cabin and the
most advanced digital flight control system in business aviation, the trijet
will feature the largest selection of standard cabin configurations of any large
business jet.
