Midcoast Aviation selected by Aviation Partners to install winglets on Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX aircraft

Midcoast Aviation announced at NBAA in Orlando that it was selected by Aviation Partners to install winglets on Falcon 2000 and Falcon 2000EX aircraft. The St. Louis-based company is the longest continually-operating Dassault Falconjet Authorized Service Center in the United States.

The agreement with Aviation Partners, Inc. (“API”) provides Midcoast Aviation with an additional capability to offer Dassault Falcon 2000 series operators which creates added value to their asset. The installation of API’s winglets can add up to 260 nautical miles in range, reduces emissions and enhance the resale value to Falcon 2000 and 2000EX aircraft. They also enable a faster climb to altitude.

“We are happy to add this new service to our extensive Falcon support offering,” said Skip Madsen, vice president, MRO services and sales for Midcoast Aviation. “The API/Midcoast team stands ready to assist Falcon 2000 operators in boosting the performance of their aircraft.”
