Instead, it has been a gradual ascent to steadiness since 2009, without a large increase in new aerospace occupations in Wichita. However, in recent month some of the key business jet enquiry indications suggest that the long-awaited recovery may at last be in place. All the less used business jets there are on the aftermarket.

Prices for used and new business jets should improve - or at least stabilise. And, according to a recent poll of several hundred business jet owner s/operators, sector confidence is at its highest level in more than seven years. However, with so many misstarts of a significant business aerospace rebound over the past ten years, business experts say the encouraging economic data are still exactly that: a pledge, not a warranty.

"There has been an improvement in the indicators," said Brian Foley, an impartial business aviation researcher. The latest profit estimate by Textron Aviation's mother organization, Textron Inc. CEO Scott Donnelly said the citation jet segment was good. Over the past four years, Textron has seen a continuous rise in jet shipments from 159 in 2014 to 180 in 2017.
