Over the last 12 months, the respected French builder of business jets has delivered an average of one new Falcon every month in the Middle East, increasing the current fleet to 41. Meanwhile, sales of new Falcons to customers in the area have remained on target, according to the company.

Deliveries this year have included the first two Falcon 7Xs in the region. The triple-engine 7X–the newest, largest and longest-range Falcon–represents some 30 percent of Dassault’s sales there over the last year. Worldwide, there are now some 18 Falcon 7Xs in service and at Dassault’s facility in Mérignac, France, more than 100 are currently in various stages of construction.
