Key Takeaways:

  • The IADA Q3 2024 market report indicates a strong business aviation market, with new acquisition agreements up 22% year-over-year and 373 closed deals marking the highest third quarter since 2020.
  • While reduced-price listings increased significantly as the market adjusts from post-pandemic highs, growing demand, particularly for midsize and light jets, is effectively absorbing inventory, leading to slightly lower prices than two years ago.
  • Buyer hesitation is diminishing, the insurance market is shifting to a buyer-driven model, and the overall outlook for Q4 2024 and the next six months is optimistic, with expectations for an active and accelerating market.
