Analysis
★★★ Dual verification: KG confirms Falcon 10X completed rollout in Bordeaux on March 10, 2026, with a waitlist exceeding 3,300 customers and a production target of approximately 2 aircraft/month. However, AviGo data shows Falcon full-series Q1 2026 business jet movements at 11,806, YoY -3.4%. Falcon 8X declined from 2,421 to 2,179 (-10.0%), and Falcon 2000 series from 7,768 to 7,284 (-6.2%). The sole bright spot is Falcon 6X at +48.3% (346 to 513), validating new-delivery operational ramp-up. Dassault delivered only 37 Falcons in 2025 (missing targets), with supply chain issues continuing to drag. Falcon 10X has not yet achieved first flight, while competitor Global 8000 has been delivered to NetJets and G700 delivered 53 units in 2025 — Dassault faces at least an 18–24 month product vacuum in the ultra-long-range market. Operators and Brokers should monitor Falcon 8X pre-owned residual value decline pressure ahead of anticipated 10X deliveries.
