TOULOUSE, France--()--Regulatory News:

As one of Dassault Aviation’s long-standing partners Latécoère (Paris:LAT) is proud to be part of the new Falcon 10X. The Aerostructures division will design and build the new business jet’s passenger door, confirming with this new contract its position as the world's leader in aircraft doors.
