Re: 2018 GAMA Report
While that report is a very interesting read about the industry, here's the report that shows shipments by type of aircraft from Diamond and other manufacturers:

Diamond was production constrained this past year, particularly at the London Ontario Canada factory. They hired about 100 additional people to help with production and are trying to hire at least 100 more. They also had to ramp up production of DA62s in London (while Diamond continues to produce DA62s in Weiner Neustadt, Austria). So I would expect the shipment numbers to increase substantially in 2019.

Re: 2018 GAMA Report
Not sure how I feel about Diamond production ramping up. On the one hand, scarcity of Lycoming DA-40s has been great for prices. On the other, the bigger the fleet, the better for owners as a group. I think the company wants to sell diesels and has lost interest in avgas. I would guess the emphasis will be on the tractors, not the avgas models.
