Falcon 6X Movements Surge 48.3% YoY in Q1, Becoming Dassault's Only Growth Engine — But Falcon Series Total Down 3.5%, Executive Jet Management Replaces Solairus as Top Operator Signaling Client Structure Reshuffle
Analysis
AviGo data shows Q1 2026 Falcon full-series movements at 10,567, YoY -3.5% (vs. 10,948 in Q1 2025). But internal divergence is stark: Falcon 6X surged from 346 to 513 movements (+48.3%), reflecting continued new-delivery penetration; Falcon 900 bucked the trend at +8.3% (1,690 to 1,830), with legacy platform resilience exceeding expectations. Meanwhile, flagships Falcon 7X (-6.9%) and 8X (-10.0%) both declined. At the operator level, Executive Jet Management took the top spot with 481 movements, replacing Solairus (down from 552 to 415, -24.8%); VistaJet rose from 261 to 313 (+19.9%) to climb to fourth. In airport distribution, EGLF (Farnborough) rose notably in rankings while LSGG (Geneva) departure volume plunged 27.6%. Dassault's CEO warned of geopolitical instability, and with three consecutive years of missed delivery targets, whether the Falcon 10X's 3,300+ waitlist can convert to actual deliveries is the key uncertainty. Confidence: ★★★ (AviGo data + KG events dual verification).
