Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier has reflected on a sudden, unexpected flourish of Falcon sales in July and August following what was a “very flat” first half performance, selling only seven business jets in that six-month period. By August 31, the French manufacturer had sold 26 year-to-date, taking the backlog to 56 Falcons, with 23 delivered—“a book-to-bill of greater than one,” he said.
