Gulfstream 3Q shipments down from 2019

摘要

Third-quarter aircraft deliveries at Gulfst-ream Aerospace continued to edge closer to pre-Covid levels, but were still down 15.8 percent from a year ago, parent company General Dynamics announced last month. The Savannah, Georgia-based business jet manufacturer handed over 32 aircraft (seven midsize G280s and 25 large-cabin jets) in the quarter versus 38 (nine G280s and 29 large cabins) in the same period a year ago. In the first nine months, Gulfstream shipped 87 jets (16 G280s and 71 large cabins), compared with 103 (24 G280s and 79 large cabins) in the same period last year. General Dynamics chair and CEO Phebe Novakovic indicated that Gulf-stream is expected to deliver 130 aircraft in 2020, which would put fourth-quarter shipments at 43 units-pretty much on par from the 44 handed over in the final quarter a year ago.
