Jetnet's Preowned Aircraft Analysis Shows Good and Bad News in 1Q19
Lower inventories is the good news, but as always, it is not all good news in pre-owned aircraft markets.

Utica, New York-based aircraft market analysis firm JetNet (Booth W127) has reported both good and bad news about the preowned business and commercial aircraft markets in the first quarter. On a positive note, unsold turbine inventories are down across the board, with 120 fewer preowned aircraft being offered for sale during the period. However, there is what the company described as a "pronounced" decline of 25 percent in first-quarter retail sales and leases of all fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft as compared to a year ago. For business jets, the decline is 19.9 percent for full sale transactions versus the year-ago period.
