Dassault Falcon Appoints Second Authorized Service Center in the Middle East

Saudia Private Aviation Engineering and Maintenance to Provide Line Maintenance for the Falcon 900 and 7X

ATLANTA, October 19, 2010 - Dassault Falcon has appointed Jeddah-based Saudia Private
Aviation Engineering and Maintenance (SPA-E&M) as a Line Service Center,
expanding the Falcon Authorized Service Center Network (ASC) in the Middle
East.

SPA-E&M, the business aviation unit of Saudi Arabian Airlines,
has more than 35 years of experience in maintaining and inspecting business
aircraft of all makes, including Falcons. The 43,000 square foot facility has
two large hangar areas as well as workshops and storage facilities, and
employs more than 75 technicians.

"Saudia Private Aviation Engineering and Maintenance has a
sterling reputation developed from decades of experience in the maintenance
arena and delivering the highest level of service," said John Rosanvallon,
President and CEO of Dassault Falcon. "Their appointment as an ASC will be of
great benefit not only to our expanding fleet in the region, but also to
those transient operators traveling to Europe, Asia and Africa."

SPA-E&M offers a full host of capabilities including a
corrosion prevention and control program, aging aircraft inspections, landing
gear repair and replacement, and paint services. It also houses a sheet
metal, tire and battery servicing shop.

With 50 Falcons based in the region already, and an expected
increase of 50% over the next three years, Dassault Falcon has been
continually expanding its support network in the Middle East. Dassault's
other ASC in the region, Jet Aviation Dubai, is a Line Service Center capable
of servicing Falcon 900, 2000 and 7X aircraft. A Spare Parts Depot nearby in
Dubai houses (US) $1.4 million in spares and tooling. Dassault also
established a sales office in Dubai in 2008.

Earlier this year, SPA-E&M also took delivery of the 75th
Falcon 7X - the first of four to be delivered to the company- which will be
used for VIP charter flights within the Middle East and around the world.
SPA-E&M holds Repair Station Certificates from the Saudi Arabian General
Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) as well as the FAA.
