Business jet deliveries at Textron Aviation division Cessna Aircraft climbed to 159 Citations last year, a 12-percent increase over 2013, while shipments of King Air turboprops at the Beechcraft unit landed at 113. It is difficult to determine how King Air deliveries compare with the previous year, since the 135 handovers reported to GAMA for 2013 also include those between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15, 2014. Textron also acquired Beechcraft in March, complicating matters further.
