In its latest forecast, Bombardier expects total deliveries of 11,500 business jets worth $256 billion between this year and 2018. The fleet will grow from 13,500 to 23,800 aircraft, predicts vice president of marketing for business aircraft Philippe Crevier, who points out that the industry is buffered in the current economic downturn by a $70 billion  backlog.
