GLOBAL BUSINESS<br />

AVIATION<br />

MARKET UPDATE<br />

Includes Data through July <strong>2021</strong><br />

By Global Jet Capital<br />

The business aviation market demonstrated<br />

remarkable resilience in 2020 and continued<br />

to build on that strength in the first 7 months<br />

of <strong>2021</strong>. Through July YTD, flight operations and preowned<br />

transactions were up, demonstrating continued<br />

demand for the capabilities that business jets provide.<br />

As the global economy grows, renewed business activity<br />

will continue to drive transactions in the business<br />

aviation market.<br />

• Lifting travel restrictions and liquidity built up during the<br />

pandemic led to economic growth in Q2 <strong>2021</strong>.<br />

• Driven by the entry of new users into the market, business jet<br />

flights grew through July <strong>2021</strong>. While comparisons to 2020 can<br />

be misleading due to lockdowns during that time, flight activity<br />

increased nearly 1 percent when compared to 2019.<br />

• Backlogs rose at major OEMs, driven by new users to the<br />

business jet market, low pre-owned inventory, and strong demand<br />

from fleet operators.<br />

• Overall transaction activity continues to recover from 2020<br />

levels, driven largely by the pre-owned market.<br />

• Inventory levels continued to decline through July <strong>2021</strong> and<br />

remained at historically low levels.<br />

• Limited supply and continued robust demand have given business<br />

jet sellers additional bargaining power, resulting in bluebook values<br />

firming up and even appreciating in some instances.<br />
