★★★ Dual cross-verification. AviGo data shows Jan – Apr 10, 2026 G700 active fleet grew from 34 to 58 (+70.6%); Q1 business jet movements jumped from 812 to 1,455 (+79.2%). Meanwhile, G650 active fleet fell from 292 to 227 (−22.3%); Q1 movements −7.0%. Hagerty Jet Group reported on April 2 that pre-owned Gulfstreams are extremely scarce with rapid trade closure across G700/G800 and G650/G650ER. Full-year 2025 sold 195 pre-owned Gulfstreams; new deliveries totaled 158 (incl. 53 G700s and 13 G800s). G650 exit pace (−65 aircraft) far outpaced G700 addition (+24), creating a supply gap. G500 Q1 movements +14.5%; G600 fleet +15.0% — the entire midsize-to-large product line is migrating to next-gen.
