GAMA: Bizjet, Piston Deliveries Up, Turboprops Down
The private jet market is seeing a boost from new aircraft, while the turboprop segment faces headwinds.
Pilatus's versatile PC-24 light jet helped buoy business jet delivery totals for the first half of 2019. The Swiss manufacturer ramped up its production from three in the first half of 2018 to 16 in the first six months of this year. Overall private jet airframers boosted their deliveries year-over-year by 35 units, an increase of 12.5 percent.
