Dassault Tallies 18 Net Falcon Orders in First Half
Demand for new bizjets is on the rise but competition remains “tough."

The business jet market continues to improve as the preowned inventory shrinks and demand for new aircraft recovers in North America and the Asia-Pacific region, Dassault Aviation CEO and president Eric Trappier said yesterday during a press conference at its facilities in Saint-Cloud, Paris, outlining the company’s 2018 first-half financial results. But, he added, prices for second-hand aircraft remain low and the competition for new aircraft sales remains “very tough.”
