Dassault Falcon Jet's newly arrived Falcon 900 AOG “go ship,” which made its public debut at the NBAA Regional Forum at Teterboro (N.J.) Airport last week, is set to enter service on July 8. The customer-support jet will be based at Falcon Jet’s North American headquarters at Teterboro and is one of two fielded by the French airframer. This new one is destined to cover the Western Hemisphere region. Its partner, based at Paris Le Bourget Airport, covers the Eastern Hemisphere.

Fitted with custom interiors, the two jets have utility seat covers for protection when carrying parts, tools and technicians to support Falcons that are grounded by unexpected mechanical issues. Upon arrival at the airport where the customer’s airplane-on-ground (AOG) is stuck, the specially liveried company aircraft will not only drop off the repair crew and their tools and parts, but also step in and serve as backup transport for the passengers of the customer’s airplane, taking them to their next destination.
