Analysts: Bizjet Deliveries Down in 2016, Flat in 2017
Estimates call for 661 new business jet deliveries last year, down from 718 actual shipments in 2015, with 2017 expected to be “flat relative to 2016.”

While final numbers aren’t available yet, JetNet iQ managing director Rollie Vincent has estimated 661 new business jets were delivered last year, down from 718 shipments in 2015. And the outlook for business jet deliveries this year is expected to be “flat relative to 2016,” according to Teal Group vice president of analysis Richard Aboulafia, meaning that a recovery in the industry will likely remain elusive in 2017.
