MARSEILLE - Daher Aircraft, the French turboprop manufacturer, saw its total deliveries decline in 2025 compared with the year before.

The company shipped 51 of its TBM 960 high-performance single-engine turboprops, five fewer than in 2024, and delivered 25 Kodiak utility aircraft (a mix of Kodiak 100 and the larger Kodiak 900), one fewer than the prior year. This brought the overall delivery count to 76 aircraft, down from 82 in 2024. Daher did not provide figures on new orders for 2025, after booking roughly 100 commitments in both 2023 and 2024.

The company also did not explain the reasons behind the reduction in TBM builds, which was the primary factor in the year-over-year drop. Industry data indicate that, by the end of September 2025, Daher had shipped 44 aircraft, with 32 deliveries occurring in the final quarter. Despite the dip, CEO Nicolas Chabbert highlighted the firm’s focus on meeting customer commitments and noted notable milestones such as the 600th TBM 900-series delivery. The TBM is assembled in France at Tarbes, while Kodiak production takes place in Sandpoint, Idaho.

PARIS - Dassault Aviation reported a meaningful increase in Falcon business jet deliveries in 2025, signaling firmer production momentum compared with the prior year. The company delivered 37 Falcon aircraft, up from 31 in 2024, reflecting improved industrial stability and sustained demand across its product line. Order activity also strengthened during the year, with Dassault booking a higher number of Falcon commitments than in 2024, supporting a healthier backlog position entering 2026.

Deliveries in 2025 were spread across Dassault’s current-generation Falcon family, including the Falcon 6X, Falcon 7X, and Falcon 8X. The ramp-up underscores Dassault’s progress in executing production following several years of supply-chain disruption that affected the broader business aviation sector. Operators continued to take delivery of aircraft for both charter and private use, highlighting steady utilization demand in the high-end business jet market.

While Dassault did not outline specific production rate targets, the increase in deliveries and orders suggests improving throughput and greater confidence in its industrial system. The company emphasized its focus on maintaining quality, meeting customer commitments, and supporting in-service fleets, rather than pursuing aggressive volume growth. Overall, the 2025 results point to a gradual recovery trajectory for Dassault’s business jet operations and a more stable outlook as the market moves into the second half of the decade.

SEATTLE - Alaska Airlines has announced the largest aircraft purchase in its history through a major agreement with Boeing. The deal includes a substantial order for new 737 MAX 10 single aisle aircraft along with a smaller number of 787 widebody jets, reflecting the airline’s long term strategy to grow while simplifying and modernizing its fleet. The new airplanes will allow Alaska to add capacity on high demand routes, improve fuel efficiency, and expand its long haul international network in the years ahead.

Company leadership described the order as a transformative step that supports Alaska’s growth ambitions while reinforcing its commitment to operating one of the most efficient fleets in the industry. Boeing emphasized that the agreement highlights the strength of its relationship with Alaska Airlines, which spans several decades, and underscores continued confidence in Boeing aircraft as demand for air travel continues to recover and expand.
