India’s DGCA Certifies ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East for Falcon 6X

ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, has received approval from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to perform heavy maintenance checks on Dassault Falcon 6X aircraft. This milestone coincides with the delivery of India’s first Falcon 6X this year, with a second aircraft scheduled to arrive before the end of the year.

The Falcon 6X is a long-range, ultra-large cabin business jet gaining popularity in India for its spacious interior, short runway capabilities, and exceptional range. With a range of 5,500 nautical miles (10,186 km), it can fly non-stop from Mumbai to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

In addition to its new DGCA approval, ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East is already certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to maintain the Falcon 6X. Approvals from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) are also in progress.

Under the DGCA approval, ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East is authorised to perform heavy maintenance on Indian-registered Falcon 6X aircraft, including 36-month checks, at its facility at Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport.

In a further expansion of its capabilities, ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East has gained DGCA approval to conduct 3C heavy maintenance inspections on Indian-registered Falcon 2000/900 and 7/8X aircraft.

ExecuJet MRO Services Middle East operates a 15,500 m² state-of-the-art facility at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai.
