🔧 Dassault’s Mérignac Maintenance Services Cover Both Falcon 6X Inspection Intervals
Dassault disclosed on September 22, 2026, that its Dassault Falcon Service Mérignac facility in France offers 12-month and 24-month inspections for the Falcon 6X and performs C-checks for the Falcon 7X and 8X. Its maintenance services also cover the Falcon 2000 EASy and 900 EASy series. Falcon 10X service remains a future plan, so fleet maintenance scheduling should distinguish between the aircraft types and work scopes already announced. Avi-Go data show that, from September 9 to September 29, 2026, Mérignac Airport (LFBD) recorded 214 business aircraft departures and 216 arrivals, for a combined 430 movements; each departure and each arrival counts as one movement. These figures reflect airport activity at the facility’s location during that period, not the number of inspections performed by the maintenance facility.
Impact: For fleets operating the Falcon 6X, Mérignac’s announced 12-month and 24-month inspection capability adds a clearly identified option for maintenance at those intervals. C-checks for the 7X and 8X and maintenance for the two EASy series address different service requirements. The airport’s 430 movements during the same period provide a reference for local flight activity but should not be used to estimate maintenance demand for any aircraft type.
Recommendation: When scheduling Falcon 6X inspections, fleet managers can confirm the specific work scope and available dates for the 12-month or 24-month interval with Dassault Falcon Service Mérignac. Falcon 10X maintenance planning should follow the service scope that Dassault formally announces later.
