10-Year Forecast Projects 8,200 New Business Jet Shipments
Wednesday, November 13, 2019 at 1:28PM By Molly McMillin | The Weekly of Business Aviation, Aviation Week Intelligence Network
Over the next decade, manufacturers are expected to deliver 8,200 new business jets valued at $212.0 billion at retail prices, and more than 2,725 business turboprops, a modest increase in the market according to the Aviation Week Network’s Fleet & MRO Forecast. The business jet forecast for 2020 to 2029 is down somewhat from the 10-year outlook released last year, reflecting the most recent slowing of the market, the anticipation of an upcoming decline in the U.S. and world economies along with ongoing trade disputes, which could impact the industry, said Brian Kough, Aviation Week Senior Director of Forecasts and Aerospace Insights. The business aviation sales market in 2019 began well, but has since flattened, Kough said. According to initial evidence from Aircraft Bluebook ongoing research, used aircraft trades during the second half of the year have slowed as well...
Year in Review

If we ask 3 different sources how the business jet sales are faring YTD 2019, I’ll guarantee 3 different answers. However, as our mantra has become ‘let the markets speak for themselves’, the numbers tell the story. New business jet deliveries have seen a YOY decrease showing 489 aircraft entering service in 2018 compared to 351 YTD 2019. As always, some fare better than others. By way of example, the Cessna Citation XLS+ shows 17 deliveries for 2018 and 15 YTD; Dassault Falcon 2000 LX shows 10 and 9, respectively and Gulfstream shows...

Dassault Falcon 8X: A Trijet Honed To Perfection
Monday, October 28, 2019 at 12:43PM 
Dassault Falcon Jet
Falcon 8X operators are virtually unanimous in saying that the Dassault flagship is a substantial improvement over the smaller Falcon 7X. It flies higher, farther and more fuel efficiently. It’s more spacious inside and even quieter. It can be optionally equipped with high-speed Ka-band satcom connectivity, a larger, more functional galley and a full-length crew rest area. And its third-generation EASy III flight deck, FalconEye HUD/EVS/SVS and refined digital flight controls reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness.
“It’s the 7X finally, fully complete,” says John Olesen, vice president for design, development, test and evaluation at Air Alsie in Sønderborg, Denmark. With five 8X aircraft, six 7X jets and seven Falcon 2000-series aircraft, Air Alsie has become the largest Dassault Falcon operator in Europe.
“It’s a very refined version of the Falcon 7X. There’s such a remarkable difference. It’s better in almost every way,” says the chief pilot for a Fortune 100 company...

The latest Dassault trijet, the Falcon 8X, is building ever stronger brand loyalty, an important asset for the planemaker’s future since Bombardier and Gulfstream have garnered so much attention with their 500-kt. flagships. Such allegiance buys time for Dassault to refine the design of any future Falcon superjet and make it competitive with the best from Montreal or Savannah, Georgia.
The Falcon 8X is highly competitive with...
