GAMA: Bizjets, Pistons Up; Turboprops, Rotorcraft Down in Q3
In its third quarter report of 2019, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association saw business jet deliveries rise while turboprops declined.
Boosted by deliveries of its new G500 and G600, Gulfstream saw a more than 36 percent increase year-over-year in its large cabin offerings. That contributed to the business airplane industry's 16 percent rise in billings through the first three quarters of 2019.

Private aircraft deliveries were a mixed bag in the third quarter according to statistics released this morning by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). Through the first nine months of the year, business jet deliveries were up by 15.4 percent over the same period in 2018, with OEMs handing over 69 additional aircraft, buoying the total airplane billings to $14.8 billion, a 16 percent rise over the previous year.
