If it had it not been for the shipments last year from two relatively new very light jet aircraft newcomers—Honda and Cirrus—delivery figures in 2017 would have been significantly lower than in 2016. According to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association, manufacturers delivered 667 business jets in 2016 plus just nine more in 2017, resulting in a 1.3 percent gain.
