Market Insights & Trends
Strong Demand for Low-Time Aircraft
Aircraft with less than 1,500 total hours are commanding 8-12% premiums over average market prices. Buyers are prioritizing low-time inventory even at higher price points.
Phenom 300E Gaining Market Share
The upgraded Phenom 300E now represents 34% of active listings (up from 22% in Q3), reflecting owners upgrading to the latest avionics and cabin improvements.
Charter Operators Driving Demand
Part 135 charter operators accounted for 38% of Q4 purchases, up from 29% in Q3, as fractional ownership programs expand their light jet fleets.
Market Outlook - Q1 2026
We forecast continued strength in the Phenom 300 market heading into Q1 2026, supported by:
- Limited new inventory: Embraer's production backlog extends 18-24 months, keeping pressure on pre-owned market
- Charter demand growth: Fractional programs expanding light jet capacity for regional routes
- Owner-operator interest: Single-pilot certification attracting individual buyers seeking operational flexibility
Price forecast: We expect 2020 Phenom 300 models to trade in the $8.1M - $8.4M range through Q1 2026, with well-maintained, low-time examples potentially exceeding $8.5M.
