Daher Adds Aircraft Support and Logistics Site in France

Daher Aircraft inaugurated a purpose-built 6,000 m² support and logistics center at Jonzac-Neulles Airport (LFCJ) on 6 July 2026, replacing its former Merpins site. CEO Nicolas Chabbert led the opening, marking a strategic expansion of the company’s global aftermarket network to serve civil and military aviation operators. The facility houses specialized workshops for composite airframe repair, painting, welding, landing gear hydraulics, battery overhaul, and Level 2 non-destructive testing. It currently employs 32 personnel, with plans to reach 40 by end of 2026, directly supporting maintenance of French Air and Space Force fleets including Xingu aircraft. The center enhances spare parts storage, maintenance, equipment overhaul, and logistics services for Airbus helicopters, Cirrus/Grob trainers, and legacy Socata aircraft.
