Market Leader Spotlight: Ben Dow – Senior Managing Director, Dassault Falcon Jet Sales at jetAVIVA
Date
March 20, 2025Ben Dow is a recognized authority in the world of Dassault Falcon Jet sales, bringing over 15 years of experience and an impressive record with over 115 successful transactions. As Senior Managing Director at jetAVIVA, Ben’s deep expertise, strategic insight, and unwavering commitment to client success have solidified his reputation as a premier specialist in large-cabin aircraft sales.
Ben’s passion for Dassault Falcon Jets runs deep. From the very beginning of his career, he was drawn to the brand’s exceptional engineering and performance. “My first transaction was a classic Falcon 50, and from that moment, I was captivated by Dassault’s approach to aircraft design,” he recalls. “Their military heritage translates directly into performance, efficiency, and reliability—making Falcons a standout choice in the business aviation world.”
One of the defining features of Falcon Jets is their signature tri-jet design, a configuration that enhances range, performance, and short-field capabilities. “There’s a unique desirability to the tri-jet layout,” Ben explains. “Falcons offer a balance of efficiency and versatility that’s hard to match in any other large-cabin aircraft.”
While his career began with the Falcon 50, Ben’s favorite Dassault product is the Falcon 7X and 8X. “The presence of the 7X and 8X on the ramp is unmistakable—they exude power and sophistication,” he says. His expertise extends beyond just sales; he guides clients through every aspect of ownership, from sales and acquisitions, customization to operational planning and market strategy.
Ben’s extensive market knowledge allows him to provide invaluable insight into industry trends. “We’re seeing a shift in demand,” he notes. “Older Falcon models with aging powerplants and avionics are seeing reduced interest, although still offering a tremendous value proposition. While newer generation aircraft, especially those equipped with Dassault’s EASy cockpit—are retaining their value exceptionally well.” The Falcon 7X’s transition out of production has further shaped the pre-owned market, leading to stable values and a strong demand for late-model aircraft. “Dassault’s controlled production and family-owned approach create a unique stability in the Falcon market,” Ben adds.
Among the many transactions Ben has facilitated, one stands out as particularly rewarding. “I worked with a couple transitioning from a Citation to their dream aircraft—a Falcon 8X. Being involved from their first factory tour to material selections and final paint design was an incredible experience,” he shares. “Helping clients realize their vision and dream of ownership is what makes this job truly special.”
With a proven track record, unmatched market knowledge, and a relentless focus on client success, Ben Dow is the definitive choice for those looking to enter the Dassault Falcon Jet market. Whether you’re considering your first Falcon or seeking strategic insight on your next acquisition, Ben’s expertise ensures a seamless and successful transaction.
