General Aviation Market Sees Double Digit Gains

The general aviation market continues to see strong growth, driven by a 10.6% increase in business jet deliveries through the first nine months of 2025, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). The total value of airplane deliveries reached $19.4 billion, up 13.2% compared to the same period last year. While piston aircraft shipments and helicopter volumes saw more modest changes, the overall trend points to a healthy and stable market. This growth is attributed to sustained demand for business jets, with manufacturers working through substantial order backlogs. The outlook for 2026 remains positive, with factors like 100% bonus depreciation tax treatment in the US supporting continued growth. The latest figures were reported by AeroTime.
