Jet-Setting Giants: Dassault Aviation's Domination in Aerospace

Stepping onto a military base in Büchel could soon reveal a new aerial sight - the Rafale combat jets. Currently, Tornados from the Tactical Air Force Squadron 33 occupy the base, and it also serves as a hub for NATO's nuclear sharing, with US nuclear weapons potentially guarding Europe. However, with questions surrounding the future under President Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron steps in, proposing to expand France's nuclear shield over Europe and Germany.

Enter Dassault Aviation, the mastermind behind the modern Rafale fighters, capable of transporting nuclear-armed cruise missiles. Apart from being a formidable part of France's atomic Force de frappe, the Rafale jets also boast carrier capabilities, transforming them into long-range weapons on the French aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle."

When it comes to earnings, Dassault Aviation chiefly banks on military jets, accounting for about two-thirds of the revenue. The remainder comes from the civilian aviation sector, producing the Falcon jets.

The relationship between the Dassault family and the French presidential palace has traditionally been tight-knit, with company founder Marcel Dassault enjoying close relations with State President Charles de Gaulle. Presently, the family still holds over 60 percent of the shares, with Eric Trappier at the helm since 2013, a trusted confidant of the founder.

Order books are brimming, but production bottlenecks, particularly supplier parts shortages, pose challenges. To learn more about the latest delivery figures and the contribution of the civilian sector to growth, check out the latest issue of €uro* magazine.

In the aerospace industry, Dassault Aviation's profits predominantly stem from manufacturing military jets, contributing around two-thirds of their revenue. Meanwhile, the remainder of their earnings originate from the civilian aviation sector, where they produce the Falcon jets (from the text).

The finance sector often looks to the aerospace industry for investments, particularly following significant events like the end of a war, as seen in the post-Ukraine war boom (from This Week's €uro* Highlights).
