FXSolutions sees ‘robust’ market so far in 2025

FXSolutions says robust deal activity in 2025 has continued on from last year as it completes its 70th transaction since launching in 2022.

Last year, the company reported a trend of buyers making purchases in a more controlled manner than in the past and this trend continues. Clients are taking the time to be selective, it added.

The Directional Aviation company also said sustained momentum is down largely to strong new aircraft sales driving most manufacturers to maintain a two-to three-year backlog.

Due to the limited availability of pre-purchase inspection (PPI) slots, coupled with parts shortages, FXSolutions is advising to now plan for a PPI timeframe of 90 days, up from the typical range of 45-60 days.

“We pride ourselves on having decades of defined expertise and being positioned at the forefront of the private aviation industry,” said Matthew Doyle, managing partner of FXSolutions. “In reaching this milestone, we affirm our place as a leading brokerage for the finest aircraft in the market.”

The return of 100% Bonus Depreciation from the current 40% is expected to be a major a drive in new aircraft sales, particularly for corporate flight departments, said the company. It will also likely generate new inventory in the secondary market. 

As more Gulfstream G700s are delivered, and with the entry of the Gulfstream G800, FXSolutions expects to see more corporate flight departments put late-model Gulfstream G650s on the market.

“Although we do not focus on just one aircraft category, the enormously popular ultra-long-range and large-cabin Gulfstream aircraft like the G700, G650 and G450 make up nearly 47% of our total business,” said Doyle. 

“Our success in 2024 and the first half of this year also has much to do with spotting trends and opportunities in the market, and Directional Aviation provides trusted resources for that research. It allows us to offer an unmatched level of expertise and support, making us the preferred choice for discerning aircraft owners and buyers everywhere.”
