Dassault Aviation, un modèle à toute épreuve
HASSAN MEDDAH Le modèle de Dassault Aviation fondé sur la coexistence d'une activité militaire avec les Rafale et d'une activité civile avec les jets d'affaires a encore montré toute sa pertinence. Gr'ce à cette dualité, l'avionneur traverse la crise du marché de l'aviation d'affaires sans perdre une plume. Il vient d'annoncer de solides résultats financiers pour le premier semestre 2019. Son chiffre d'affaires progresse à 3,1 milliards d'euros (contre 1,71 milliard au premier semestre l'an passé), et son résultat net est en hausse de 54 % à 286 millions d'euros. Dans le domaine de l'aviation d'affaires, Éric Trappier, le PDG du groupe, a pourtant évoqué "un début d'année difficile et un semestre particulièrement plat" avec seulement sept commandes au 30 juin, contre dix-huit à la même période de l'an passé. Il peut toutefois miser sur le Rafale pour effacer cette contre-performance. Dassault a remporté le juteux contrat Ravel de maintenance de l'avion de combat passé par le ministère français des Armées. Cette prestation englobe le pilotage de toute sa supply chain et court sur dix ans. En matière de livraison, l'export a pris le relais à point nommé puisqu'aucun Rafale ne sera livré aux forces françaises en 2019. Depuis le début de l'année, Dassault a livré quinze appareils aux forces qataries. L'avionneur a même confirmé qu'il envisageait d'assembler des Rafale en Inde s'il était sélectionné pour livrer de nouveaux appareils au-delà des trente-six premiers commandés. https://www.usinenouvelle.com/article/dassault-aviation-un-modele-a-toute-epreuve.N882100
