U.S. Bizjet Fleet To Grow 2.5% Annually, FAA Says
FAA once again scaled back general aviation forecast, but sees business jets leading growth.

The FAA, which last year scaled back its 21-year general aviation forecast, further curbed its growth estimates this year as it predicted an overall growth rate of 0.2 percent for the fleet. This year’s predictions come as the general aviation industry marked a decline in deliveries in 2015, its first since 2010. While business jet deliveries ticked up modestly, piston and turboprop shipments were down. As oil prices declined, so, too, did rotorcraft deliveries.
