Key Takeaways:

  • Honeywell forecasts a record number of new business jet deliveries over the next decade, with 8,500 jets valued at $283 billion expected, the highest forecast in 34 years.
  • This unprecedented growth is driven by factors such as economic expansion, rising demand for fractional ownership, new aircraft technology, and tax incentives like 100% bonus depreciation.
  • Operators show high confidence, with 91% expecting stable or increased flight activity, and North America is projected to receive approximately 70% of new jet deliveries over the next three years.

A record number of new business jets are expected to be delivered over the coming decade, according to a new forecast from Honeywell.

The forecast, released Tuesday at the NBAA-Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas, predicts 8,500 new business jets with a projected value of $283 billion will be delivered over the next 10 years, translating to an annual average growth rate of 3 percent. The number of expected deliveries is the highest it has been since Honeywell started publishing its industry outlook 34 years ago.
