Dassault has delivered the 2,000th Falcon business jet since the first aircraft - a Falcon Mystère 20 - entered service 44 years ago.

The handover of the 2000LX to Turkish company Koç Holding at Dassault's Bordeaux-Mérignac facility in South West France comes as the Falcon fleet, which consists of 17 different types across 67 countries, logs more than 14 million flight hours.

Istanbul-based Koç also owns a Falcon 2000 and has an order for a Falcon 900LX, which is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2011.
