Dassault Aviation to slow production - report
PARIS, Jan 19 (Reuters) - French aircraft maker Dassault Aviation (AVMD.PA) plans to slow down its production and delay the launch of a new generation of Falcon corporate jets, French daily Les Echos reported on Monday.
"Overall the company's production plan should be reduced by 25 percent," the paper said.
Dassault Aviation now plans to produce eight Falcon jets each month instead of 12 between now and mid-2011, it said.
The production of the Rafale jet fighters is also expected to drop from 1.25 to 1 each month.
Les Echos said the measure had been announced at a workers' committee meeting.
