Honeywell Aerospace’s 35th annual Global Business Aviation Outlook predicts deliveries of 9,950 business jets and 4,200 turboprops over the next decade. Released on Monday, the forecast considers personal jets such as the Cirrus Vision Jet, as well as business turboprops, for the first time. The outlook examines fleet usage and operator expectations.

“In the past, it was only deliveries and only business jets,” Honeywell Aerospace strategic planning manager Kevin Schwab told AIN. “What we’re trying to accomplish is to help the industry understand where we sort of stand today, where we think we’re going into the future, so that everybody can sort of adequately plan and prepare, and sort of have some transparency around where we think the sector is going, and we thought that excluding some of the segments of the industry was doing a little bit of a disservice to that goal.”
