Business jet deliveries were stable in 2022
The business jet market experienced a moment of stagnation by 2022. According to General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), 712 aircraft were sent to customers, just two more than in 2021.
The association, which uses the term "shipment" instead of "delivery", estimates a total revenue of $ 21.6 billion in the 2022 business jet segment, against $ 20.6 billion in the previous year.
With a line of high value aircraft, Gulfstream led in billing, followed by Bombardier.
Again, it was not possible to point out the most sent business jet in 2022 as the range does not detail the deliveries of Bombardier, Gulfstream and Dassault.
Because of this, Gulfstream's large jets family appears in 1st place in the ranking, with 96 aircraft delivered. Bombardier, in turn, has the 3rd and 4th place with the Global and Challenger series.
Considering only aircraft with singular data, Cirrus SF-50 has become the most delivered business jet on the market, with a total shipment of 90 aircraft, four above 2021.
