Business jet deliveries started the year slowly, according to statistics released last month by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). Totals in the first quarter this year were lower than those in the beginning of 2014, with manufacturers handing over 133 bizjets in the first three months compared with 154 in 1Q 2014, equating to a 13.6-percent slide. The results mark the first year-over-year quarterly decline in deliveries since the third quarter of 2013. At the same time, according to the organization, overall airplane billings logged a year-over-year decline in the quarter for the first time since the fourth quarter of 2012, falling by more than 12 percent, to $4.5 billion, from the same period last year.
