Falcon order intake reached €1.8bn ($2.05bn) in H1 2026, up sharply from €903m in the same period last year, driven by increased demand for new aircraft. The company booked 23 Falcon orders in the half, compared with just eight in H1 2025. Falcon net sales for the half year amounted to €1.2bn, up from €1.1bn in H1 2025, representing 29% of total adjusted net sales. The most significant milestone for the Falcon programme in the half was the maiden flight of the Falcon 10X on June 19, 2026, launching the aircraft’s formal flight test campaign.
