Textron Aviation delivered 42 business jets in the third quarter, one more than the same period in 2024, while commercial turboprop deliveries surged to 39 aircraft, up from 25 a year ago. The strong performance contributed to a 10% revenue increase for the segment, to $1.5 billion.

“Overall, third-quarter revenue was up 5% for [parent company] Textron, with higher revenues at [Textron] Aviation, Bell, and Textron Systems,” Textron Inc. chairman and CEO Scott Donnelly said this morning during the company’s third-quarter earnings call. “Higher Aviation deliveries, acceleration of MV-75 at Bell, and solid performance at Systems all contributed to a strong quarter.”
