Entretien avec Eric Trappier, Président du GIFAS et PDG de Dassault Aviation
Eric Trappier, Président du GIFAS et PDG de Dassault Aviation, était invité sur Europe 1 mardi 26 janvier. Le dirigeant a souligné que la signature du contrat de vente de 18 avions de combat Rafale à la Grèce, qui s'inscrit dans la continuité d'un partenariat historique, représente également « un tournant », puisqu'il s'agit du premier contrat Rafale signé en Europe. Ce contrat met en évidence l'interopérabilité de l'avion de combat avec les alliés de la France. La construction de 18 avions Rafale (6 appareils destinés à la Grèce et 12 destinés à l'armée de l'Air française dans le cadre d'une commande à venir du gouvernement français afin de remplacer les appareils prélevés en faveur de la Grèce), garantit « un an et demi » de travail dans les usines de Dassault Aviation, et sollicitera « 7 000 personnes » dans ces usines, situées en France. M. Trappier est par ailleurs revenu sur l'importance d'un soutien sur le long terme des compétences et des technologies pour l'ensemble de la filière aéronautique et spatiale, et sur les enjeux de souveraineté qui y sont liés, rappelant le rôle du GIFAS à cet égard. Il a évoqué également le fonds français mis en place dans le cadre du plan de Relance, qui doit contribuer à garantir la sauvegarde de la supply chain et des pépites françaises. Le dirigeant a enfin souligné le caractère crucial de la prise en compte stratégique des enjeux liés à l'espace, pour la défense française et européenne.
