Business Aircraft Deliveries Largely Subdued in 1Q 2017
GAMA reported an overall 6.5 percent increase in business aircraft deliveries for the first quarter of 2016, but results varied among manufacturers.
The Embraer Executive Jets Lineage 1000 got on the delivery scorecard in the first quarter of 2017 with one delivery. Sales of the Brazilian OEM’s Legacy series of large jets were down, however, contributing to an overall dip of 44 percent.

While the inherently subjective market sentiment factor may have appeared to be somewhat ascendant during the first quarter of 2017, business aircraft delivery numbers for that period did little to boost expectations for the industry’s prospects this year. For the most part, manufacturers reported flat or declining delivery statistics.
