Bizav Market Defies Traditional Valuation Models

Aircraft values are maintaining strength despite increasing inventory and longer market times, breaking decades-old patterns that typically signal price softening, according to industry experts speaking at the JetNet summit in Washington, D.C., this week.

The unexpected resilience reflects fundamental changes in buyer behavior and market structure, with transactions increasingly driven by mission-specific requirements rather than general aircraft availability. This shift has created what appraiser David Crick of DavAir described as market “splintering” rather than traditional bifurcation.
