Second quarter transactions for business jets and turboprops fell 2.4% year-over-year but still exceeded the 10-year quarterly average by 7.4%. Strong Q1 performance lifted year-to-date volumes 14% over the first half of 2024. Inventory levels are rising but remain below the 10-year norm, with 6.5% of the active fleet listed for sale compared to 7.6%, according to Amstat’s 2025 Mid-Year Preowned Business Aircraft Market Report.

Heavy jet transactions declined 4.1% in Q2, but YTD activity is up 17.1%. Inventory has levelled at 6.8% of the fleet, asking prices are flat, and median values have rebounded 6% since May. Super-mid jet transactions rose 14.6% in Q2, driving YTD growth to 25.5%. Inventory is down since January, but average asking prices have fallen year-over-year while the median value is up 6% YTD.

Medium jets saw steady Q2 results and strong Q1 growth, with YTD totals 15.5% higher than 2024. Light jets dipped 5.3% in Q2 but remain 11.6% above the 10-year average, with YTD growth at 17.7%. Turboprops dropped 2.9% in Q2, yet YTD figures are up 8.2%.

“The second quarter's mild pullback should be viewed in the broader context of a resilient and active preowned market, particularly given the record-setting first quarter,” says Andrew Young, general manager of Amstat. “Our data suggests that strong demand, selective pricing adjustments and inventory growth are creating a dynamic yet balanced market environment.”
