Deliveries of Dassault Falcon business jets climbed to 31 in 2024 versus 26 in 2023, although they were lower than the 35 that Dassault had given as guidance for the year during the release of first-half results in August.

Dassault doesn’t provide a breakdown of which models were delivered, but the total includes the Falcon 6X, the newest jet in the French company’s stable. The backlog for Falcon jets as of Dec. 31, 2024, is 79, a drop of five from the end of 2023. Net orders for new Falcons reached 26 during 2024, up from 23 a year earlier.

The Falcon 6X received concurrent FAA and EASA certification on Aug. 22, 2023, and entered service on November 30 of that year. The 6X can fly up to 5,500 nm with eight passengers and NBAA IFR reserves and has an Mmo of Mach 0.90.

On the defense side, Dassault delivered 21 Rafale fighter jets in 2024, up from 13 in 2023, against an end-of-2024 backlog of 220.
