“The exceptional short-field capability of the 2000S, particularly its hot-and-high performance and its ability to operate at LondonCityAirport, combined with its spacious cabin, make it ideal for the Indian market. We expect the 2000S and its longer-range cousin, the Falcon 2000LXS (also certified in early 2013), to sell very well in India,” said Gilles Gautier, vice-president ( Falcon sales -- EMEA).
