f you’re still holding out for the perfect used jet
(i.e. low-time, flown only on weekends and –
most importantly – with a seller already asking
less than the market average, desperate to
make a sale), we wish you luck... The buyers' market
is fast fading into the mist.
The used business jet and turboprop market of
the past decade has shifted strongly toward the
seller of newer inventory since Q4 2017 and through
Q1 2018. Analysts, Dealers and Brokers, and
Forecasters are in alignment about this.
Rolland Vincent, founder of JETNET iQ observed,“Net optimism in the fixed-wing turbine-powered
owner/operator community is the highest we have
ever measured in 29 consecutive quarters since Q1
2011, when we initiated our JETNET iQ Surveys.”
Indeed, his report and those of others sharing
similar information fuel a palpable sense of
optimism on whether the market is perceived as
being past its low point. That optimism has been
missing for much of the past decade, but in Q1
2018, the net optimism of those surveyed by
JETNET iQ grew to nearly 45%, the highest
yet measured.What’s Driving Used
