 IADA Reports Thriving Sales Volume 

Despite Global Economic Tensions

3Q Market Report Released at NBAA-BACE

ORLANDO, Oct. 18, 2022 – The International Aircraft Dealers Association’s 2022 Third Quarter Market Report documents a flourishing resale market for business aircraft with a balanced outlook for the next six months. The industry report, which includes validated sales data and candid market perceptions from transaction experts, was released by the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) here at the start of the 2022 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE).

Closed transactions by IADA dealers during the 2022 third quarter remained strong at 331 sales transactions, compared to 340 in the third quarter of 2021. Year-to-date IADA dealers have completed 929 deals, up even from the frantic pace set in 2021 with 869 transactions over the equivalent period. With over 60 percent of transactions in cash, global buyers and sellers seem somewhat immune to rising interest rates.

“Obviously, from the international perspective, stability in Europe and Asia are wildcards for the future, however used aircraft sales were strong in the third quarter and the fourth quarter outlook is encouraging,” said newly installed IADA Chair Zipporah Marmor. Marmor is Vice President of Aircraft Transactions at ACASS, headquartered in Montreal, with offices in the U.S., Europe, Asia, India, and the Mideast/Africa.

“The collective sentiment of IADA members is that traditionally heavy fourth quarter volume will be driven by the phase-out of 100 percent bonus depreciation in the U.S., airline cutbacks to smaller cities spurring first-time buyers, and cash availability for most aircraft purchases,” she added.

Third quarter survey responses from IADA membership show a slight increase in supply while demand remains stable for the next six months in the markets for turboprops and light, mid-size, and ultra-long-range jets. Pricing across all aircraft categories is also projected to be steady. To download the complete 2022 Third Quarter Market Report, go tohttps://aircraftexchange.com/market-report.

What Are the Experts Saying?

IADA’s market report is a product of trusted opinions by aircraft transaction experts, backed by hard sales data. It incorporates quantitative resale information from IADA's exclusive marketing tool, AircraftExchange.com, and qualitative survey data from IADA members. Below are some of their comments.

“The market has returned to a much more reasonable mood. Buyers in the market took a summer pause due to bad economic headlines and a small incremental increase in inventory across most all makes/models. That pause is over, as evidenced by brisk activity and offers across the spectrum of the market.” – Shawn Dinning, Senior Partner, Dallas Jet International

“Our feeling that ‘the end is near’ continues to be proven wrong by activity in the markets, where demand continues to outpace supply and values have remained very close to their recent highs.” – Paul Kirby, Executive Vice President, QS Partners

“Global stability (Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan, China) are the biggest wildcards out there. Sanctions may be useful tools for global policy, but they could also impede aircraft transactions.” – Greg Cirillo, Founding Member, HCH Legal

“I do feel there will be a strong fourth quarter, mostly driven by year-end tax-driven buyers.” – Kyle Wagman, Director of Aircraft Transactions and Consulting, Leading Edge Aviation Solutions
