Deliveries of both jets and turboprops were up again in the first half of this year, according to second-quarter numbers released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).

Both sectors increased output in the first half of this year by approximately 14 percent beyond last year’s first-half figures. Although most experts expected jet deliveries to increase, the solid and decisive rise in turboprops suggests that those who pronounced the propeller obsolete in business aviation were a trifle premature.
