Dassault's Falcon 2000LX Receives Approval for London City Airport (LCY)

DUBAI, UAE, December 6, 2010 - Dassault's Falcon 2000LX recently has been granted approval
for arrivals and departures at the challenging London City Airport (LCY) in
England. With this approval, European registered Falcon 2000LXs can connect
London City, located in the heart of the city of London, nonstop with all of
Europe including Moscow. Dassault is currently developing a program to gain
FAA steep approach certification which will also allow American registered
aircraft to operate at LCY.

In order to use London City's short runway (4,327 ft/1,319 m
at landing and 3,934 ft/1,199 m at take off), an aircraft must demonstrate
exacting performance. To help achieve this, Dassault developed a unique
autobrake feature for the Falcon 2000EX and 2000LX that reduces landing
distances by as much as 300 feet on steep approaches, which are required for
London City. The steep approach procedures require a glide slope of 5.5
degrees as opposed to the standard 3.0 degrees.

"Flying into London City is not only a challenge for aircraft
performance, aircraft are also required to be good neighbors and must abide
by strict noise procedures," said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of
Dassault Falcon. "Meeting these requirements is not an easy task but the
convenience of flying into the heart of downtown London is highly valuable
for business jet operators." The Falcon 2000LX noise level was measured in
the same category as smaller turboprop.

The Falcon 2000LX received EASA and FAA certification in April
2009. The 4,000 nm range 2000LX offers the same spacious, quiet interior as
the 2000EX EASy but also the capability to serve a more extensive city pairs.
It offers a 10 to 15% better climb speed improvement in comparison to the
Falcon 2000EX and allows the aircraft to reach 41,000 ft in just 18 minutes.
The Falcon 2000LX comes standard with the award-winning EASy flight deck
which has won high marks and praise for its integrated features and intuitive
displays.

In 2009, the Falcon 7X was approved to operate at London City
Airport for both EASA and FAA registered aircraft. The Falcon 7X offers the
longest range of any business jet qualified for London City with nonstop
capability to New York. Additionally, the Falcon 900DX/EX, Falcon 50 and
Falcon 10 all have London City approval.
