Market report · Q3 2026

Pre-owned inventory kept tightening in large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets, while light and midsize jets gave buyers more choice and more room to negotiate. Well-documented aircraft on enrolled engine programmes continued to sell fastest.

Outlook

  1. 01

    Expect large-cabin supply to stay limited into 2027 as new-delivery slots remain sold out and owners delay upgrades.

  2. 02

    Light and midsize buyers can negotiate: price adjustments of 5 to 8% from initial asking are common on aircraft listed for more than six months.

  3. 03

    Records quality and programme enrolment remain the clearest predictors of both price and time to close.
