From the Wall Street Journal (subscription required):
During past decades, business jets remained the province of the wealthy and famous. But the stock-market boom of the 1990s combined with the increased inconvenience of commercial-airline service made these aircraft a mainstay of American corporations. Sales peaked at about $11 billion in 2000. Since then, the market has contracted, turning up pressure on aircraft manufacturers to differentiate themselves to win sales from a smaller pool of customers.
