Dassault Aviation delivered 12 Falcons in the first half, up from nine in the first six months of last year, and took in net orders for 11, one fewer than a year ago, the company said today. It reported total revenues of €2.538 billion in the first half versus €2.295 billion in the same period last year, with its Falcon business jet unit accounting for €980 million, up from €827 million in first-half 2023. Dassault's defense business—largely Rafale fighter deliveries—accounted for the majority of revenues, at €1.558 billion.

Falcon backlog grew by about €110 million, to €4.758 billion, in the first six months, covering 83 Falcons, down one unit since the end of last year.
