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.
Other manufacturers showed varied trends; Dassault units were down 12% YOY, while Bombardier and Cessna listings increased by 3% and 6%, respectively. Gulfstream listings reached 61 units, up 30% YOY, driven by additional G650 and extended-range models. Embraer units rose 43% YOY to 40 units, with its active fleet percentage at 4.0%.
Average used jet prices declined by 10% year over year and 1% month over month. Pricing shifts were noted across manufacturers, with notable decreases for the G650, Falcon 2000LX, and Challenger models. Overall, the data highlight evolving market dynamics as newer model inventories expand and pricing reflects changing supply trends.
Analysts expect these trends to continue as supply dynamics further adjust in the coming months.
