Dassault Falcon Jet (Little Rock) is dedicated to the completion, service, and support of Falcon business jets. Approximately 1800 people are employed in the 1.2 million square foot facility at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.

Dassault Falcon Jet is a subsidiary of Dassault Aviation, a leader in international aviation and a partner in the United Nations Global Compact: a public and private initiative aimed at generating a more sustainable global economy. Measures implemented by Dassault Aviation are specifically designed to address the Compact’s environmental standards. While the parent company’s focus is on sustainable aircraft design, efficiency, and manufacturing processes, the Little Rock facility, which is a worldwide completion center and primary service center, focuses on the environmental impact(s) associated with completion and service related exposures.

The Little Rock facility has a long history of environmental stewardship. Dassault Falcon Jet has continually researched and integrated improvements applicable to the company’s extensive facility regulatory exposures consistent with its far ranging production operations. Dassault Falcon Jet is also recognized for a history of active participation in voluntary EPA programs, dating back to 1991. Since that time, the Little Rock facility was one of the first aircraft completion and service centers in the United States to be certified to ISO 14001 standards. An Environmental Management System was established to reinforce green considerations within production and across all product lines. This resulted in a decreased environmental impact throughout the production process.

Environmental Improvement Projects

Transition to LED Lighting

Dassault Falcon Jet (DFJ) expanded LED lighting installations from their main facilities into the administrative building on site. The project assists in reducing energy usage by the company, all while saving some money on the side.

Weather Stripping Exterior Doors

DFJ installed a total of 2,579 linear feet of weather stripping to approximately 200 exterior doors on various buildings at their facility. This project will also save Dassault Falcon Jet both energy and costs.

White-Knight Roof Coating Project

The entity applied a new roofing membrane over approximately 57,000 square feet of roofing. The project helps the company reduce energy consumption and prevents the release of VOC emissions over time.

Annual Energy Reduction

In 2019, DFJ began a partnership with Entergy Arkansas and Clear Results to identify and implement multiple energy reduction programs. This helps the company prioritize where energy reductions should be targeted based on the company’s needs.

Entergy Arkansas Green Promise Program

DFJ has committed to purchasing 3,218.5 kW/month of solar energy from Entergy Arkansas, and plans to purchase more from the utility in the future. This program allows Dassault Falcon Jet to meet their renewable energy needs at the facility.

Dassault Falcon Jet Employee Earth Day Event

The company hosts an annual Earth Day event to promote household energy savings and provide employees with a location to drop of hazardous and electronic waste materials.
