The purpose of a business aircraft is to facilitate quick, efficient transportation, and Part 3 of AIN’s annual Product Support Survey dealt with the system that powers that value proposition: engines.

Our readers provided feedback on the support their aircraft powerplants—whether turbofan, turboprop, or turboshaft—received from their respective manufacturers. In this year’s results, GE Aerospace retained its top position for jet engines with an overall average score of 8.81, despite changes to the AIN survey methodology this year that weighted more toward independent reviews. Those changes rendered direct year-to-year comparison of survey scores invalid.
