PARIS, Dec 3 (Reuters) - The 80 Rafale fighter jets ordered
by the United Arab Emirates on Friday will directly support
7,000 jobs in France and guarantee the supply chain of the
Dassault Aviation made aircraft until the end of 2031,
a French official told journalists.

He also said the UAE deal, the largest order ever for the
warplane, would lead to an increase of the monthly Rafale
warplane production.
