Today, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA)\npresented the 2020 year-end general aviation aircraft billings and shipments\nreport, during its annual\nState of the Industry press conference<\/a>. Aircraft deliveries reached a value\nof $22.8 billion, a decrease compared to $27.8 billion in 2019. Piston airplane\ndeliveries were steady, while turboprop, business jet and helicopter deliveries\ndeclined as compared to 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs expected, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively\nimpacted general aviation and stifled the industry\u2019s growth. While we continue\nto face headwinds globally, all signs point to strong demand for our products\nand services that are unfortunately being constrained by pandemic induced\nsupply chain limitations and a vast array of disjointed barriers to air travel\nacross national borders. As we progress through the recovery process, our\nmember companies have made the health and safety of their employees and that of\ntheir suppliers an overarching priority, and rigorously support economic\npolicies that preserve our skilled aerospace workforce.\u201d said GAMA President\nand CEO Pete Bunce. \u201cIt is encouraging to see that segments of our industry saw\na solid rebound in the fourth quarter of 2020. In 2021, it will be important\nfor the general aviation industry to work together with our commercial sector\ncolleagues to keep our interlinked but very fragile supply chain secure, while\ncontinuing to engage global regulatory authorities to leverage their mutually\nrecognized safety competencies to keep pace with accelerating technological\ninnovations that improve aviation safety and environmental sustainability and\nfacilitate industry recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airplane shipments in 2020, when compared to 2019, saw\npiston airplane deliveries decline 0.9%, with 1,312 units; turboprop airplane\ndeliveries decline 15.6%, with 443 units; and business jet deliveries decline\n20.4%, with 644 units. The value of airplane deliveries for 2020 was\n$20 billion, a decline of approximately 14.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preliminary civil-commercial turbine helicopter deliveries\nfor 2020, when compared to 2019, saw a decline of approximately 16.9%,\nwith 532 units; and piston helicopter deliveries saw a decline of 20.7%,\nwith 142 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piston engine airplane market in North America accounted\nfor 67.9% of overall shipments. The second largest market for piston airplanes\nfor the sixth year in a row was the Asia-Pacific market at 17.4%. Turboprop\nairplane shipments to North American customers accounted for 54.9% of the\nglobal deliveries. The second largest market for turboprop airplane deliveries\nwas Europe at 14.4%. The North American market accounted for 66.0% of business\njet deliveries. The second largest market for business jet deliveries during\nthe year was Europe at 16.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
