The report confirms that it still very much a buyer’s market, with a rise in pre-owned business jet sales and the economy growing at “a pace that is prime for positive business aviation growth.”
JETNET says there were 2,303 pre-owned business jet sales in 2013 – over 8,300 business aircraft in total – with the percentage of business jets for sale dropping from 13.4 per cent in December 2012 to 12.5 per cent one year later.
The number of business jet sales also increased by 0.6 per cent and the average asking prices increased by 10.7 per cent.
