Amharc ar fhreagraThe Dassault Falcon 6X officially entered operational service on the 10th of March 2026. In all cases were required parts were obtained from the manufacturer and fitted to the aircraft within the timeframes outlined above. The Deputy will appreciate for operational purposes it would be appropriate to comment further.
The military authorities have advised me that they are satisfied that the aircraft is currently delivering an appropriate level of operational performance and reliability in line with its intended role. As with any complex aviation platform, routine technical and operational matters can arise; these are managed through established Air Corps engineering and flight safety processes.
