The More Things Change,

Heavy Jets Heavy The More They Stay The Same

hile the aircraft industry has seen many Wchanges in this record breaking economy, the selling patterns of aircraft owners have remained the same. We wondered if, in these frugal times, aircraft sellers would forgo the use of an aircraft professional to sell their planes. A look at AMSTAT’s statistics for the past 10 years shows that this is not the case. Even though the total number of aircraft for

Medium Jets sale has nearly doubled in the past ten years, the percentage of aircraft for sale with a broker has risen or stayed nearly the same. For Heavy Jets, Medium Jets, and TurboProps the percentage has gone up, while Light Jets went down only one percentage point. In 2000, the total number of Heavy Jets for sale was 205 with 84% for sale with a broker. Today there are 615 for sale and 91% for sale with a broker. Th ere were 322 Medium Jets for sale in 2000 with 86% for sale with a broker. Currently there are 1,022 Medium Jets for sale with 90% for sale with a broker. TurboProps saw 929 for sale with 72% for sale with a broker in 2000. Th is year there are 1,440 TurboProps for sale with 75% for sale with a broker. Th ere was Light Jets a slight drop in Light Jets. In 2000, there were 564 for sale with 81% for sale with a broker and this year there are 1,379 for sale with 80% for sale with a broker. AMSTAT’s data shows that the aircraft owners are choosing to leave it to the professionals instead of using the at home Nice ‘n Easy approach. In this economy, the aircraft owner can benefi t from the expertise of the aircraft professional. Navigating in this turbulent market requires experience to get the job done. Cutting corners doesn’t always give you the results you want.

TurboProps Kathy and Judy have been with AMSTAT for a combined 35 years. Th ey are the Directors of Research. Kathy specializes in International and Helicopter Research, while Judy focuses on Domestic and Fixed Wing Research.

By these means the industry will rebound. Now, more than ever, the ball is in the aircraft owner’s court. Believing that ownership should not be complex and weigh heavily on the owner, Walkabout is working especially close with its owners to ensure that they are educated and their needs are met in this economic tundra. Owners are being encouraged to know their direct operating costs and set their limits. “We’ve had to put it in their court.
