The Dassault Falcon 900LX aircraft to be provided under the Command Support Air Transport contract with Centreline Aviation are manufactured in France (including components from Germany, Greece and Italy), with completion activities, such as paint and cabin fit, undertaken in the USA. Each aircraft is powered by three Honeywell TFE731-60 engines manufactured in the USA.

Business aircraft of the required size and capability are only available from a limited number of manufacturers none of which manufacture in the UK.
