Dassault Aviation has reported a steady increase in its Rafale order book. The company currently has a backlog of 223 Rafale aircraft, a 12-unit increase compared to the previous year. This robust order pipeline includes 159 aircraft destined for export markets and 64 for the French Air and Space Force.
Dassault is also actively engaged in negotiations with India for the sale of 26 Rafale Marine aircraft to bolster the Indian Navy’s capabilities. This potential deal is expected to be finalized later this year.
Beyond the order book, Dassault continues to deliver on its commitments. The company delivered six Rafale aircraft to the French Air and Space Force, provided ongoing support to both domestic and export fleets, and made significant progress in developing the F4 standard for the Rafale. Additionally, Dassault has secured orders for the third batch of 18 Rafale aircraft under the Indonesian contract.
These developments underscore the strong global demand for the Rafale fighter jet and Dassault Aviation’s position as a leading aerospace manufacturer.
