Hong Kong's Chep Lap Kok Airport (VHHH) by the end of 2010. The facility will
be authorized to support scheduled and unscheduled maintenance up through A

"This agreement is consistent with our philosophy of enhancing
the service experience by expanding our footprint of service," said Jacques
Chauvet
, Senior Vice President for Worldwide Customer Service for Dassault
Falcon. "China and Asia are rapidly expanding as they realize the benefits of
business aviation. Additionally, transient traffic in Hong Kong continues to
expand so this agreement is of vital importance to all of our customers."
Dassault Falcon will also position U.S. $1.1 million in spare parts and
tooling to support this initiative in Hong Kong. Once complete, the total
value of Genuine Dassault Falcon Replacement parts in Asia will stand at
nearly U.S. $8 million.

Jet Aviation Hong Kong is a world class 9,200 square meter
(99,000 square feet) facility staffed by a team of 20 multinational
professionals with vast experience in aircraft maintenance. In addition to
scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, AOG assistance from Hong Kong is
available throughout China and the Asia Pacific region.

Once Jet Aviation Hong Kong is fully operational, Dassault
Falcon's service center network will stand at 37 locations: 27 Authorized
Service Centers, five company-owned Service Centers and five company-owned
Satellite Service Centers. The service center network is supported by 11
spare parts distribution centers strategically located around the world and a
Technical Center spanning three time zones which provide 24/7 support to
Falcon operators.
