Global business jet deliveries, excluding very light jets, slid 6 percent year-over-year in the second quarter, despite increases of 18 and 14 percent in North America and China/India, respectively, according to data released today by UBS Global Research. These gains were “more than offset” by a 60 percent erosion of business jet shipments in Latin America from a year ago and a 40 percent drop in emerging countries in Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA). Second-quarter deliveries were flat in Western Europe.
