Closed preowned business aircraft transactions rose 21% year over year to 746 during the first half of 2026, according to the International Aircraft Dealers Association's (IADA) Second Quarter 2026 Market Report. IADA Accredited Dealers reported 536 aircraft placed under acquisition agreements, an 8% increase over the same period last year, while dealers purchased 118 aircraft into inventory, an 87% increase and double the total from the first half of 2024.

Dealers signed 238 exclusive retainer agreements to sell aircraft during the second quarter, a pace IADA said has remained largely consistent over the past seven quarters. Aircraft price reductions totaled 67 during the first half, an 11% decline from the prior year and the fewest since IADA began tracking the metric in 2023.
