(Bordeaux-Mérignac, Francia, 10 luglio 2009) - "La consegna del nostro 2000° Falcon è più che il coronamento di un successo", dichiara John Rosanvallon, Presidente e CEO di Dassault Falcon. "È la conferma che tutte le qualità che abbiamo sviluppato a partire dal Falcon Mystère 20 sono essenziali per un ottimo volo. Oggi, i Falcon sono riconosciuti in tutto il mondo per il loro comfort spazioso, le loro performance ineguagliabili ed il loro insuperabile valore. E sono di gran lunga i più efficienti a livello carburante nella loro categoria, il che si traduce in minori emissioni".
The 2000th Falcon, a 2000LX was delivered to Koç Holding. Based in Istanbul, Koç Holding is the largest company in Turkey and a leader in both domestic and international markets. The company is among the top 50 companies in Europe and a member of the Fortune Global 200. The group focuses its operations on four core industries: energy, automotive, durable goods and finance and is active in 24 countries, in Turkey, Europe, the Middle East, and China.
"We could not grow our business without our airplanes," declared Mustafa V. Koç, Chairman of Koç Holding. "The Koç Group of companies is spread out with production facilities and dealer networks throughout the world. The business demands fast and efficient travel and our airplanes represent indispensable assets to our company growth." The 2000LX is the newest member of the Falcon family of business jets. Koç Holding also owns a Falcon 2000 and holds an order for a Falcon 900LX, to be delivered at the end of 2011.
"The Falcon 2000LX offers the lowest operating costs of any airplane in the large cabin class and is an ideal business tool for global companies like Koç Holding," said John Rosanvallon. "Sharing this occasion with Koç Holding is remarkable not only because they are among our most faithful customers but they are also a highly respected member of the business community."
The 4,000 nm range 2000LX offers the same spacious, quiet interior as the 2000EX EASy but has the capability to serve a more extensive list of city pairs. The 2000LX can connect New York to Moscow; Mumbai to London; Paris to Delhi and Hong Kong to Brisbane non stop. It also offers a 10 to 15% climb speed improvement (over the Falcon 2000EX) allowing it 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.
The Falcon 2000LX is powered by the same highly reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308C engines as the 2000EX. The PW308C is rated at 7,000lbs thrust (ISA + 15C) and recently passed 220,000 flight hours on the Falcon fleet.
