-6.64% Cessna Dominance Cessna maintains market leadership with 34.92% share. The Citation Excel/XLS/XLS+ leads with 42.53% of brand flights, followed by Citation Latitude at 31.49%. The -24.51% MoM decline and -21.98% YoY change reflect continued February seasonal softening across North America.

Gulfstream Resilience Gulfstream shows the smallest MoM decline at -6.64%, demonstrating relative resilience. The balanced distribution across G280 (34.98%), G550 (34.43%), and G450 (30.59%) indicates diversified demand across its large-cabin range.
