The business aviation market enters the 2026–2028 forecast period with continued demand for private aircraft, a growing global fleet and relatively limited pre-owned inventory. New aircraft deliveries are expected to gradually increase supply, while demand for well-maintained used aircraft should remain supported by buyers seeking shorter delivery timelines and proven aircraft platforms.
Market conditions will continue to vary by aircraft category. Smaller jets are expected to offer buyers greater choice as inventory expands, while larger and ultra-long-range aircraft may remain comparatively constrained. Financing costs, aircraft availability, operating economics and global economic conditions will remain important factors influencing purchasing decisions.

Demand for light jets is expected to remain steady through 2028, supported by their relatively accessible acquisition costs and practical operating economics.
Midsize jets should maintain consistent demand as buyers seek a balance between cabin comfort, range and operating costs.
Super midsize jets are positioned for continued demand from buyers requiring transcontinental range and spacious cabins.
Heavy jets are expected to maintain solid demand from corporate and private operators requiring greater range, cabin space and mission flexibility.
Ultra-long-range aircraft are expected to remain one of the most closely watched segments through 2028.
*Forecasted deliveries are estimates based on OEM guidance and industry analysis.

Additional G400 and G800 deliveries could gradually increase availability in the large-cabin and ultra-long-range segments. Over time, newer aircraft entering service may encourage some owners to replace existing aircraft, potentially adding selected pre-owned examples to the market.

Continued Global 7500 deliveries may gradually expand the installed fleet while creating additional opportunities for buyers as existing owners evaluate replacement cycles. Demand for well-maintained pre-owned examples should remain supported by the aircraft's long-range capability and large-cabin configuration.
