Used business jet inventory for sale in May 2025 totaled 1,159 aircraft, representing a 3% decline year over year (YOY) but a 1% increase month over month, according to financial analyst Jefferies. At 1,195 units in May 2024 and 1,145 units in April 2025, the overall inventory accounted for 4.6% of the total fleet, compared to a one-year average of 4.9%. The decrease was primarily driven by midsize jets, down 5% YOY, and light jets, down 3%, while heavy jet numbers remained flat.
For aircraft models fewer than seven years old, inventory increased by 13% YOY and 4% sequentially, representing 3.5% of the active fleet. Month-over-month increases were seen at specific manufacturers, with Dassault inventory up 10% and Gulfstream up 11%. Notably, the G650 models led with an increase of four units from April to May, contributing to a market shift driven by the end of the G650 era.
