On January 24th, the first Falcon 2000 LXS Albatros, dedicated to maritime surveillance, successfully completed its inaugural flight from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. This milestone is a significant achievement for the AVSIMAR program, which aims to renew the fleet of surveillance aircraft. The teams have been tirelessly mobilized since 2020 to reach this pivotal point.

The Ministry of Armed Forces has ordered five additional Falcon Albatros maritime surveillance aircraft. This acquisition underscores the commitment to enhancing maritime security and operational capabilities.
