The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) has issued its Current Market Portrait & Forecast, offering an assessment of global business aircraft conditions as of September 2025 and projecting trends through September 2026.

The report reflected a more stable preowned environment compared to the post-pandemic surge, marked by normalised inventory levels and rational pricing. Demand continues to be driven by robust corporate travel and sustained wealth generation across North America, the Middle East and parts of Asia.

Large-cabin jets are regaining momentum, with Jetcraft’s five-year projection estimating over 11,200 preowned transactions valued at nearly $74 billion. On the new aircraft side, strong OEM orderbooks continue to shape the secondary market, even as production tempo is moderated by supply chain and labour pressures.

In policy terms, the permanent reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation in the U.S. has accelerated year-end demand for both new and preowned aircraft. Meanwhile, the July U.S.–EU agreement has ensured continued tariff-free trade for aircraft, engines and parts, reinforcing trans-Atlantic market stability.

“The 2025 market is both disciplined and resilient,” says IADA executive director Lou Seno. “Buyers and sellers are operating in a more balanced environment, but timing, asset readiness and proactive planning remain decisive factors.”

The report offers regional insights across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America, highlighting factors such as MRO capacity, financing dynamics and local policy shifts like the U.K.’s SAF mandate and tariff exemptions benefiting Embraer in Brazil. It draws from IADA-accredited dealers and industry sources including NBAA, GAMA, IBAC, Jetcraft and Global Jet Capital.
