Key Takeaways:

  • General aviation airplane shipments saw a slight decline in 2015, with piston-engine and turboprop deliveries falling, while business jet shipments remained relatively flat.
  • This slowdown is primarily attributed to potential buyers waiting for numerous new aircraft models to enter the market.
  • The introduction of upcoming models, like the HondaJet and Cirrus Jet, is anticipated to boost delivery numbers and could mark the beginning of a new market boom from 2016 onwards.
