Aircraft About To Enter The Market |
| Moving with the times, bizjets receive a makeover when the “parent” airliner is refreshed part way through its production run. That said, the product shake-up is not shaking out many new buyers. |
| The “usual suspects” are active in this market sector, although the Longitude is not quite as long (legged) as it was before resizing was announced at the last NBAA Convention. |
|
| Pilatus and SyberJet continue to progress, while the long-lost VisionAire Vantage returns to the limelight in search of funding. |
| EASA and the FAA inked their rubber stamps for the Dassault Falcon 8X’s benefit in June, leaving only the delayed Bombardier twins awaiting joining instructions for this circuit of the market. |
|
| Nextant’s G90XT drops out of this survey, having gained certification a few days after the last NBAA Convention. Likewise, the Piper M600 went to its first customer on July 13. |
