Business jet inventories are stabilizing in September, according to Jefferies, holding steady even as manufacturer-level trends diverged. The firm reported 1,211 used business jets for sale, equaling 4.8% of the active fleet across all vintages. The figure was flat compared with August, down 3% year over year (YOY), and up 6% over the past six months.

For aircraft less than 7 years out of production, inventory was unchanged YOY and declined 4% month over month, equal to 3.5% of that fleet segment. Light-jet availability fell 10% from a year ago, while heavy jets rose 2% and midsize jets were flat.
