Forecasts of sales declines across the light jet segment contributed to the decision by One Aviation to lay off an unspecified number of employees at the company's Albuquerque, New Mexico facility last week, company president Ken Ross told AIN. “GAMA expects quarterly sales to be down for aircraft deliveries, and we’re seeing that throughout this market space,” he continued. "We have primarily realigned our production, service and engineering capabilities to be more efficient.”
