Google... this data is out there and readily available. ChatGPT also helpful... GAMA has data... Long-story: Production has not reached pre-financial crisis levels. We are back over 700 (maybe even eclipsing 800) executive jets per year, however in 2008 that number was just over 1,300 deliveries. Then it crashed 2009 to like 800 units, and continued dropping until 2011+/- with a trough/low point in the 600's for many years... OEM's are not going back to that level due to supply chain issues as well as keeping a governor on demand to not put themselves in a precarious situation. Most OEM's backlogs, depending on make/model, range from###-###-#### months to###-###-#### months from order to delivery. Some manufacturers like Pilatus even kept their order books closed, because deliveries were running so late and supply chains disrupted.

Thanks Luke.. Although we work with clients in aerospace and I personally love the sector (am a long time pilot), we do not have production data. I would think that a governmental, e.g. FAA, might have such statistics on their site. Sorry.
