Éric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation, has expressed concerns over the company’s supply chain disruptions, which are impacting the production of both Falcon business jets and Rafale fighter aircraft. In a recent press conference, Trappier highlighted shortages in production lines due to inefficiencies among certain suppliers, particularly in the aerostructure sector. These challenges have introduced risks to delivery timelines and customer support operations.
To mitigate these issues, Dassault Aviation is implementing a combination of internal and external measures aimed at improving supply chain resilience and anticipating potential supplier shortcomings.
Interestingly, India has emerged as a potential solution to the company’s supply chain woes. With strong ties forged through the “Make in India” initiative and a promising business outlook, the country is seen as an opportunity to expand Dassault’s supply chain network.
It’s worth noting that Dassault Aviation currently boasts a substantial Rafale backlog of 223 aircraft, comprising 159 export orders and 64 for the French Air and Space Force. While supply chain challenges pose a temporary hurdle, the company’s strong order book underscores the continued demand for its products.
