For the third consecutive year, Dassault set a record for Falcon business jet sales with 212 firm orders worldwide. “The results are a tremendous statement to the benefits of business aviation which are now only being understood in some areas of the world,” said Edelstenne.
“The trend of widespread global growth that has lead to three years of record sales started a couple of years ago when markets such as Europe, Russia, Brazil and the Asia-Pacific countries entered a very rapid expansion phase,” said Edelstenne. “Those markets continue to grow along with India and the Middle East. Dassault’s sales balance is moving towards those and other countries, from markets that have traditionally been the strongest like the United States.”
Dassault’s continued success over years can be traced to a number of factors. “All of our models are well positioned to meet our customers’ needs. They’re fuel efficient in a time of very high jet fuel prices. The cabins are spacious and well appointed in a time when missions are getting longer. And a very high retained value helps to drive financial considerations during the process,” said John Rosanvallon, President and CEO of Dassault Falcon.
Continued Rosanvallon, “Those three factors were especially true in 2007 with the Falcon 7X and Falcon 2000LX. They’re both high tech and highly efficient and very much in demand.” Over 200 Falcon 7X aircraft had been sold by the end of 2007.
