Business jet deliveries at Gulfstream Aerospace climbed nearly 31 percent year-over-year in the first quarter, largely due to G500 shipments, parent company General Dynamics reported today. The 34 deliveries in the quarter included 27 large-cabin and seven midsize jets, compared with 26 (19 large-cabin, seven midsize) in the same period a year ago. Seven G500s were handed over to customers in the quarter, with 17 in total delivered since the new large-cabin jet received FAA certification in July.
