Aviation Week forecasts that single-engine turboprops will account for a quarter of business aircraft deliveries to European operators between 2026 and 2035. 

Of the different aircraft types being delivered to European customers, the Swiss-built Pilatus PC-12 is to see the highest number of unit deliveries of new-build aircraft. However, when looking at aircraft by family instead, the Cessna Citation comes out on top—of the 1,764 aircraft that are expected to be delivered during the 10-year period, the Citation will account for just over 370 units, or 21% of the total.

By manufacturer, Textron Aviation is expected to ship the most aircraft over the forecast period, accounting for 27% of total deliveries. Gulfstream, Pilatus and Bombardier are the other OEMs with more than a 10% share of overall deliveries to European customers.
