Dassault Aviation Presents Military and Commercial Offerings

Our Bureau - : Feb 13, 2023 - : 1:31 am

Dassault Aviation is presenting its military aircraft and business jet offerings at the ongoing show. The airframer is unique in building combat jets and fighter aircraft.

“Dassault Aviation’s participation in the Aero India show is just the latest step in our 70-year partnership with India. It has always been our ambition and a source of pride to provide the Indian armed forces and Indian companies with the best equipment. We will do everything in our power to develop our industrial presence in this great country and meet its military and business aircraft needs, both today and for the future,” said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is Dassault Aviation’s longest standing export customer and has been flying Dassault aircraft since 1953. The air force is now operating 36 Rafale F3-Rs, which were contracted for in 2016 and the modernisation of Mirage 2000 fighters is underway at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) in Bengaluru.

The Rafale Marine is a candidate for the Indian Navy’s new carrier-borne fighter fleet, under a tender issued by the Indian Government. Dassault Aviation is showcasing a Rafale C mock-up in Indian Air Force colours and a Rafale Marine mock-up at the show.

Following the Rafale contract, Dassault Aviation and its partners are also contributing to the “Make in India” policy, through a vast procurement, training and industrial subcontracting network involving dozens of companies, in accordance with our offset obligations.

Dassault Aviation’s Falcon business jet family is also popular in India with more than twenty Falcon aircraft in service in India and promising growth prospects.

A Falcon 2000 front section built by the Franco-Indian plant in Nagpur, under agreements signed subsequent to the Rafale contract is being displayed along with a Falcon 8X business jet.

With its range of nearly 12,000 km and its extreme versatility, the Falcon 8X  trijet, enjoys a reputation for robustness and reliability and is particularly well-suited to the needs of Indian companies and to local operating conditions (high temperatures and altitudes).
