Dassault Reports Increase in Falcon Deliveries in 2025

French aircraft manufacturer Dassault Aviation missed its 2025 delivery target of 40 Falcon aircraft, but handed over 37 business jets to customers, exceeding the 2024 figure of 31 aircraft. The company also increased deliveries of Rafale fighter jets: 26 were delivered in 2025, compared with 21 a year earlier. Regarding orders for civil aircraft, 31 Falcon agreements were signed during the reporting year, compared with 26 in 2024. Despite this, the order backlog for the family declined from 79 to 73 aircraft. The published unofficial data do not provide a breakdown of deliveries and new contracts by individual Falcon model.

Of the 26 Rafale fighter jets delivered in 2025, 15 went to foreign customers and 11 to the French Air and Space Force. By comparison, the corresponding figures in 2024 were 7 and 14 aircraft, respectively. Last year, the company also signed 26 new export contracts for the fighter jet, bringing the total Rafale order backlog to 220 aircraft, comprising 175 for export and 45 for France.

Dassault Aviation raised its financial forecast for full-year 2025: expected revenue will exceed €7 billion, or about $8.2 billion. The group will present its full-year results on March 4.
