Announcing the receipt of type certification from Indian civil aviation authority, French aircraft manufacturer, Dassault, is now expecting a surge of orders from Indian shores.

Dassault said that the first Falcon 7X will be delivered in India by January 2010 to Religare Voyages, a charter company based in New Delhi. The firm, part of a huge conglomerate, already operates a Falcon 2000, along with other aircraft.

According to company sources, atleast a dozen large-cabin Falcons of various models, including some 7X aircraft, are already on order for customers in India.

The Falcon 2000 and 900 models are already certified for operations in India, and company sources said around 16 large-cabin Falcons are in service in the country.

Dassault has also established service centres approved by the Indian civil aviation authority, along with a spare parts centre in Mumbai.

John Rosanvallon, Dassault Falcon president and chief executive, said at the Dubai Air Show that type certification by Indian authorities was significant as India has been one of the company's strongest markets over several years.
