Preowned business aircraft inventory continues to rise but still remains below the 10-year average, according to industry data tracker Amstat. The current percentage of the fleet for sale rose by 45 percent year-over-year (YOY) to equal 5 percent of the business aircraft fleet, as compared to the 8 percent average.

The largest inventory increases by segment were in the super-midsize and heavy jet classes at 93 percent and 73 percent, respectively. Those categories were also the closest to their 10-year average, with 6 percent of the heavy jets and 7 percent of the super-mids available versus their 8 percent average.
