What’s Happening Now?
Flight Operations Are Rising
In Q1 2025, business jet operations grew +2.4% YoY, with the U.S. leading the way. Fractional ownership remains hot. Even outside the U.S., growth outpaced Q1 2024 despite global uncertainties. The dip from Q4 to Q1 (-5.1%) is seasonal – not structural.
What matters: Demand is sticky. Private aviation is no longer just a luxury – it’s a tool for security, flexibility, and productivity.
OEM Backlogs Are Full – But Fragmented
Backlogs hit $47.9B (+3.1% YoY). Supply chains are healing, deliveries are rising, but the book-to-bill dipped below 1:1. Confidence remains high among OEMs.
Why it matters: This confirms a long-term trend: demand isn’t going anywhere. The bottleneck is production, not interest.
Transactions Are Up – Especially Pre-Owned
Total unit volume grew +25.9%, and dollar volume +21.8% YoY. Buyers are back. New jets are flowing again, and the pre-owned market is booming (+33.1% in $ volume).
Key insight: The post-COVID pricing standoff is over. Buyers and sellers are aligned again. Momentum is strong.
Inventory Is Tight – Especially for Young Jets
Listings dropped for the 2nd quarter in a row (-5.8% YoY). Younger jets are getting scarce (only 30.8% of listings), while older jets dominate the market. Availability is below the 10-year average (7.2%).
Investor note: This is a seller’s market for modern jets. Strategic asset selection is key.
Residual Values Are Stabilizing
Aircraft values declined -1.2% YoY and -2.2% QoQ – a return to historical depreciation. Older jets (-3.6%) are sliding faster than newer ones (-0.2%).
Translation: We’re back to normal. No bubble, no crash – just value discipline.
What This Means for Investors
Jasmine Blue Group is positioned at the sweet spot of this transformation:
We invest in iconic aviation assets that are in demand.
We focus on tangible, flying cashflows – not hype.
We provide access to an industry that’s scaling quietly, safely, and globally.
What’s Next?
Expect continued demand for newer jets, tighter inventories, and OEMs under pressure to deliver. Pre-owned jets with strong records will become even more valuable. Investors who move now can still secure premium assets before prices catch up with reality.
Your benefit? You invest in the real economy, in a premium sector, with partners who know the sky from the ground up.
