Pre-Owned Business Jet Inventory Rate Falls to Historic Low 6.6%; Values Rise 3% Against the Trend — Seller Market Continues Deepening
●Gulfstream●AMSTAT
Analysis
Q1 2026 pre-owned business jet for-sale inventory rate fell to 6.6% — notably below historic mean of 8.2%; IADA reports the market is 'thriving.' Despite transaction volume YoY decline, pre-owned jet values still rose ~3% — reflecting supply shortage driving prices up. Gulfstream Q1 delivery set historical same-period record; heavy jets in Europe and Asia demand strong — hinting large-cabin pre-owned inventory may be tighter. Category breakdown data not in public summary; requires IADA full report or JetNet/AMSTAT. Confidence ★★ (multi-source news cross-verification but lacks categorical breakdown data).
