Pre-Owned Business Jet Market Tightening

Inventory rate at historic low 6.6%; Gulfstream pre-owned 'on-market-sells-immediately'

Why this matters

Global pre-owned business jet inventory rate fell to historic low 6.6% (vs. 8.2% historical mean); values +3% YoY but transaction volume down. Hagerty Jet Group reported only 195 pre-owned Gulfstreams sold full-year 2025, with G700/G800, G650/G650ER, G500/G600 entire series in 'extreme scarcity.' G650 fleet entering 144-month deep inspection window in concentrated wave; independent MROs like Duncan Aviation and StandardAero accelerating penetration into ultra-long-range large-cabin maintenance. Pre-owned alternative types like Praetor 600 saw Q1 movements grow against the trend.
