While the low was 644 in Covid-impacted 2020, six of the last 13 years have seen annual deliveries begin with a six.

In fact, from 2000 through 2009, the industry delivered an average of 828.6 business jets annually.

From 2010 through 2019, the private jet makers delivered an average of 710.8 units annually.

Since then, that average is just 688.7 units.
