A quiet quarter, a crowded finish
Pre-owned sales cooled in the third quarter, running about 11% below last year, and large-cabin jets accounted for most of the gap. It looks like a pause, not a retreat: the twelve-month trend is still up, owners are holding their prices, and the best large-cabin aircraft still sell faster than anything else. With eleven weeks to the year-end deadline, buyers who want a 2026 closing should be under contract in the first half of November.
