By March of next year Dassault is expected to deliver the first of four Falcon 7Xs that Saudi Arabian Airlines ordered at the 2007 Dubai Airshow. Also in Saudi Arabia, the first Falcon 2000LX business jet is to be delivered to National Air Service (NAS) in January for the NetJets Middle East fractional ownership program. According to Alain Aubry, Dassault Falcon’s v-p for sales and marketing, the Middle East has accounted for only two order cancellations–far fewer than other regions–since the beginning of the economic crisis.
However, the contract with NAS is being “restructured.” The second 2000LX thus is now to be handed over “in the middle of next year.” In 2007, NAS ordered four firm aircraft, with 16 options.
