After the industry’s knowledgeable investors and financiers shared experiences at the Corporate Jet Investor Conference in London, Andrew Butler, at specialist aviation consulting firm, ALTEA, took time to reflect on the market availability for the ultra-long-range business jets and offer a general perspective.
“At the end of 2024 we saw a total of around 3,100 business aircraft available on the open market – an increase YoY of some 20%. This represents a marked increase with 7.3% of the global business aircraft fleet for sale up from 3.6% in 2022, and 9.2% back in 2019 (pre-pandemic)” says Andrew Butler, ALTEA Partner.
“What will be more critical in this sector looking forward – especially from an OEM standpoint and more importantly a Bombardier perspective – is the newly announced US tariffs on Canadian imports.”
