Despite the continuing economic downturn and the aftereffects of September 11, the number of turbine business airplanes delivered last year surpassed the tally for 2000. According to figures compiled by AIN and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, airframers worldwide delivered 790 business jets and 332 business turboprops last year, compared with 758 jets and 267 turboprops in 2000.

In a historical departure from past practices, GAMA has started listing delivery
statistics for non-U.S.-built GA airplanes. Starting with the 2001 year-end review, delivery figures now appear for the Canadian-built Bombardier Global Express and Challenger business jets, as well as turbine business aircraft and corporate shuttles built by Europe’s Airbus, France’s Dassault and Socata, Brazil’s Embraer, Germany’s Fairchild Dornier, Italy’s Piaggio and Switzerland’s Pilatus.
