Dassault Aviation Opens Service Center at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip

(24 Feb 2022)  Dassault Aviation has opened a new company-owned service center at New York’s Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip.

The facility will initially accommodate up to five or six aircraft and provide scheduled maintenance, AOG support and pre-purchase evaluations.

The service center is less than one hour’s flight time to 20% of the U.S.-based Falcon fleet and will benefit from quick access to technical staff and parts at Dassault Falcon Jet’s Teterboro headquarters.

Dassault has also been adding service capacity in other locations in the U.S., including Little Rock, Arkansas; St. Louis, Missouri; Stuart, Florida; and Reno, Nevada.

New enhancements in Reno include an additional maintenance bay as well, improved customer amenities, more efficient work areas and new staff additions.

Heather Mirra, previously Director of Network Supply Chain, Planning and Scheduling, has been appointed as Reno’s new General Manager.

"Our planning for new aircraft and new service capabilities continues," said Jean Kayanakis, SVP Worldwide Falcon Customer Service & Service Center Network. "Customers can expect to hear about new capacity coming online as the new models such as the Falcon 6X near their service entry dates."

This regional realignment of resources is intended to offset the recent closure of one of Dassault’s earliest service sites in Wilmington, Delaware.

The company decided that upgrading the Wilmington location for an expanding fleet and the larger 6X and 10X aircraft "was not feasible".
