The Independent Falcon Aircraft Operators Association (IFAOA) is planning its second annual meeting on September 26 and 27 in Dallas. This event follows the inaugural meeting last year that drew more than 70 owners, operators, and flight department members representing more than 60 aircraft.
IFAOA launched the program to provide technical content, create opportunities for social networking, and build a community for Falcon operators. Kicking off with a reception and dinner at the Frontiers of Flight Museum on September 26, this year’s program will cover market evaluation, cabin and flight deck upgrades, connectivity, and engine and airframe maintenance.
“It was an honor to welcome owners, operators, directors of operations, directors of maintenance, pilots, and technicians for discussion and fellowship last year. It was a really engaging event,” said group organizer Sean Lynch. “We expect the great discussions to continue this year.”
IFAOA membership has now grown to more than 140 operating Falcon 10s, 20s, 50s, 900s, 2000s, and a 7X, the organization said, noting members appreciated having an independent organization to discuss some of the issues surrounding aircraft ownership.
“Costs associated with owning, operating, and maintaining these aircraft have been growing more rapidly in the last few years, and there isn’t enough being done to bring in more competition in the aftermarket, especially on the legacy Falcons,” said Brandon Luthens with Club Jet.&nbsp;

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
