Sell Opportunity - Q2 2026

Q2 2026 presents opportunities for owners considering a sale, particularly in aircraft categories where buyer demand remains strong and available inventory is limited. Aircraft condition, maintenance history, configuration and asking price continue to play an important role in determining how quickly an aircraft attracts qualified buyers and achieves a competitive market outcome.

BusinessJets

Easiest to Sell

Aircraft with strong buyer demand, desirable configurations and complete maintenance histories are generally positioned to attract attention more quickly. Newer or well-maintained aircraft in popular categories can benefit from a broader pool of qualified buyers.
BusinessJets

Strong Pricing

Aircraft can command stronger pricing when supply is limited and buyer demand remains healthy. Competitive positioning, current maintenance status, modern avionics and a well-presented cabin can all contribute to a stronger market position.
BusinessJets

Best Time to Sell

The right time to sell depends on the aircraft, its condition, current comparable inventory and buyer demand within its category. Owners should evaluate current market conditions and comparable aircraft before setting an asking price or choosing a sale strategy.
