In its third-quarter shipment report, GAMA has found the overall delivery of airplanes and rotorcraft increased in the first nine months of this year compared to the same period in 2017. "This is one of those few times since the great recession that we have seen all segments up in shipment numbers," said GAMA President Pete Bunce. "While there remain some soft spots in a few segments, including business jet deliveries and impacts being felt from global trade disputes, I'm optimistic about our industry's performance in 2019." The report found piston airplane deliveries increased by 8.3percent, to 784units, compared to the same period last year.
