Dassault Aviation’s Private Jet Orders Drop as Tariffs Loom

Orders for Dassault Aviation SA’s Falcon business jets dropped to their lowest level in five years as the threat of tariffs delay assembly and keep customers at bay.

“There is a tariff impact, no doubt about it,” Chief Executive Officer Eric Trappier said at a press conference presenting the company’s first-half results. “There are difficulties with the supply chains, which means it takes longer to deliver aircraft, of course impacting the sales.”
