Executive Jet has signed up for 50 Falcon 2000EXs – 25 firm with options for 25 more – for its NetJets fractional ownership programmes in Europe and the US. The aircraft will be equipped with Dassault’s EASy flight deck cockpit technology.

“We look forward to offering the 2000EX,” said Richard Santulli, chairman and ceo of NetJets, anticipating the mid-2004 delivery. “Our NetJets owners have responded very well to the Falcon 2000. The cabin size and baggage capacity is outstanding and the 2000EX will provide a transatlantic alternative for our NetJets owners.”

Responding to continued demand, NetJets added another six Falcon 2000s at the same time as placing the 2000EX order. These aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2003. Executive Jet Inc. is now the single largest Falcon customer with over 97 Falcon Jets having been purchased to support the NetJets programmes.
