AINsight: State of the Bizav Industry
The GAMA annual gathering showed a robust bizjet market, concerns about workforce and sustainability, and interest in Bombardier's path going forward.

On Wednesday, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) held its much anticipated year-end industry shipments press conference in Washington, D.C. The National Press Club venue this year was apropos as GAMA leadership unveiled its annual state of the industry results.

New business jet deliveries reached 809 units in 2019, up an impressive 15 percent year-over-year and the industry’s highest collective output since 2009, the first full year after the financial crisis. Pacing the pack was, not surprisingly, the Cirrus Vision Jet, with 81 deliveries last year.
