IBA Forecasts More Business Jet Delivery Growth in 2026
Some supply chain easing, but production and completions constraints could persist
IBA business jet delivery forecast
IBA is forecasting a 6.5% increase in business jet deliveries in 2026.

Business jet deliveries could grow by 6.5% this year, according to new market analysis released by IBA on Monday. The UK-based aviation consultancy predicts 884 deliveries this year, saying that the increase is expected due to a gradual easing of supply chain constraints, albeit with “continued tightness driven by production and completions capacity.”

This year, IBA anticipates demand being spread across multiple segments of the business aircraft market, which it said reflects “sustained utilization in charter and corporate markets, alongside continued appetite for longer-range, premium cabin aircraft.”  The report anticipates a breakdown of deliveries across the following segments: light and super-light (245); large/ultra-long-range (192); super midsize (156); midsize (91); large cabin (92); and very light jets (108).
