Gulfstream shipped 77 aircraft to customers during the first half of 2014, an increase of 18% over the 65 deliveries in the first half of 2013.

Most of the gains were made in the mid-cabin range (G150/G280) where deliveries had almost doubled.

Although Gulfstream don’t break out deliveries by individual aircraft types, outfitted deliveries of large cabin aircraft (G450/G550/G650) were up by three units, and mid-cabin aircraft were up by eight aircraft.

Gains were also made in ‘green deliveries’, aircraft that have been manufactured but need to have their interiors installed.

Mid-cabin aircraft again drove the increases with an additional three aircraft delivered over last year, whilst green deliveries of large cabin aircraft remained flat.
