Deliveries also soared, with 43 jets (31 large-cabin, 12 midsize) handed over versus 31 aircraft (25 large, six midsize) in the same period last year.
Production of Gulfstream G650/650ERs continues apace, with the models sold out until the second quarter of 2018. Demand is so high for the ultra-long-range jets that the aerospace manufacturer plans to "feather in" a couple more into the production pipeline next year. (Photo: Gulfstream Aerospace)
