Against the backdrop of a stable global economy, business jet backlogs grew by 20.4% year over year (YOY) in the second quarter, while departures were up 3.2%, according to Global Jet Capital (GJC). At the same time, young preowned aircraft availability dropped, the financier further reported in its second-quarter Business Aviation Market Brief released today.

GJC noted that the business aviation market remained steady overall as the global GDP grew 2.3% during the quarter despite geopolitical developments in the Middle East. This global growth is anticipated to remain throughout the year, barring unforeseen significant events. “With steady economic growth and the wealth creation that accompanies it, the business jet market remains well positioned for continued health through the remainder of 2026,” according to GJC
