While activity in pre-owned large cabin aircraft sales took a big hit in the first quarter, Falcon sales numbers improved somewhat in the second quarter. They dipped again in the third quarter, which is typical of summer months. The fall in VREF and Bluebook values in Q3 was not as significant for older models as it was for Falcons less than 10 years old. The available inventory for sale fell across almost all lines over the summer, with a number of older models selling or being removed from the market. Dassault delivered six Falcon 7X, four Falcon 2000LXS and five Falcon 2000S models in Q3.
Dassault Fleet Summary
JetNet iQ numbers show mid- and supermid-sized aircraft being the largest target of those intending to buy aircraft in the next twelve months, which seems to be reflected in all the major manufacturers’ plans. As Falcon 2000 inventories seem to be shrinking across all vintages, sellers of these aircraft should see prices stabilize. Additionally with Bombardier’s delay in the Global 7000 and 8000 programs, Dassault should be able to capture a larger market share of the ultra long-range large jet market.
