Dassault Sees Flat Bizjet Deliveries in 2012

Dassault Aviation received net orders for 36 Falcons last year, CEO Charles Edelstenne said in March during the company’s annual presentation in Paris, noting a major improvement over 2010, when cancellations took the net total to minus nine. The 2011 orders represented a value of €1.93 billion ($2.5 billion), and the Falcon backlog now stands at €4.2 billion ($5.5 billion).

Global regions performed differently. North Europe and Russia started picking up, while North America, South Europe and the Middle East have not experienced an upturn yet, Edelstenne said. Latin America and China “worked well” in 2011. China, albeit dynamic, is still a relatively small market. There are 16 Falcons flying there and another 12 are to be delivered this year in the country.
