Business jet deliveries rose by nearly 10% in the first half of the year versus the same period in 2024, according to the latest quarterly delivery report from the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). OEMs handed over 354 business jets through the first six months compared to 322 a year ago, contributing to a more than $1 billion increase in aircraft billings, to $12.3 billion for the period.

All of the major business jet OEMs either saw improvement or equaled their performance from last year. Embraer saw the largest year-over-year (YOY) increase—36%—delivering 61 business jets in the first half. The Brazilian manufacturer has focused on evening out its production across the entire year rather than backloading it towards the end. This year, it delivered 12 more of its larger Praetor 500 and 600 twinjet than it did in the first half of 2024.
