Gulfstream delivered 158 jets in 2025 but forecasts largely flat 2026 deliveries amid supply‑chain and completion bottlenecks

Gulfstream delivered 158 business jets in 2025 (up from 136 in 2024) and posted strong Q4 revenue — its second‑highest sales quarter in 17 years. Despite healthy results and General Dynamics' $4.2bn profit, Gulfstream says 2026 handovers will be largely flat as supply‑chain and completion bottlenecks persist.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Gulfstream delivered 158 jets in 2025 (from 136 in 2024) and reported its second‑highest sales quarter in 17 years, yet it expects only marginal delivery growth in 2026 because of ongoing supply‑chain and completion bottlenecks — a direct constraint on fleet capacity and operator planning. See broader supply constraints in the 2025 recovery context (supply‑chain and completion bottlenecks).

  • The gap between strong financial performance and constrained handovers highlights a wider industry shift: OEMs face difficulty converting demand into aircraft availability, affecting aftermarket, MRO and charter markets and driving strategic product and fleet responses across business aviation (industry renewal and midsize segment shift).
