Two Falcon 7Xs for Belgian Air Component

摘要

THE BELGIAN defence ministry has signed a €124m contract for the lease of two Dassault Falcon 7X business jets over a 12-year period. The deal was agreed with Luxembourg's Luxaviation, but will likely be handled by its Belgian subsidiary, Abelag Aviation. The two Falcon 7Xs will replace most of the Belgian Air Component VIP fleet. In recent years the inventory has decreased significantly with the withdrawal of the two Falcon 20-5s (one each in 2016 and 2017) and the Falcon 900B (last July). Meanwhile, a first Embraer ERJ145 was put into storage in June 2018 and the last ERJ135/145S are scheduled to be withdrawn at the end of this year.
