Key Takeaways:

Dassault Falcon Jet will construct a new 175,000 sq ft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (KMLB), with construction beginning in Q2 2023 and opening by late 2024.
The new facility aims to significantly expand Dassault's U.S. MRO network and capacity, servicing all current Falcon models for North and South American customers and offering a wide range of maintenance services.
Melbourne was selected due to Florida's favorable business environment and access to a highly skilled aviation workforce on the Space Coast, which is expected to create high-paying jobs and economic growth in the region.
