Business jet deliveries worldwide remained sluggish through the first half of this year, declining by more than 4 percent from the same period last year, while overall airplane billings shrank by half a billion dollars, to $10.4 billion, according to statistics released by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). OEMs handed over 305 jets in the first half, 13 short of the pace in last year’s first six months. However, the second-quarter delivery tally of 172 jets represented a healthy gain over the 133 deliveries in the first quarter and an improvement over the 164 private jets in last year’s second quarter.
