Business jet deliveries this year are projected to be down anywhere between 12.5 percent and almost 50 percent year-over-year due to the Covid-19 crisis, depending on its lingering effects on aircraft demand and supply, according to JetNet iQ director Rolland Vincent. Before the pandemic, business aviation analyst and consulting firm JetNet iQ projected 730 business jet shipments this year; it now foresees about 640 deliveries as the best-case scenario and about 375 as worst-case.
