It’s only natural to look for the best deal, regardless of whether you’re buying a television, a car… or, a private jet. Daniel Jennings, founder and President of The Private Jet Company (TPJC) explains that certain private jet aircraft currently represent excellent deals in today’s market, often selling at prices far lower than buyers may expect. “We strongly believe the overall market is beginning to tighten, and inventories have decreased 50 percent over the last 24 months,” Jennings said. “That said, large cabin, long-range business jets from such manufacturers as Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon, and Bombardier continue to offer a lot

But the same socioeconomic forces helping flatten the sales curve of jet transactions are creating new business aircraft ownership opportunities in the air charter world. The fact is, though sales of new business jets have dropped sharply, business aviation activity beyond the world of buying and selling airplanes is strong. People still want and need to use business jets, but fewer want to own them. It’s part
With all of the private jet transportation companies operating today and the array of services they offer—taxi and air charter, leasing, fractional ownership, jet cards—you might think new market opportunities are scarce. That may be true in the U.S. but not so much for the rest of the world. “There are some 700 aircraft of all types chasing the charter market in the U.S. but just 125 to 150 serving international clients,” according to Daniel Jennings, president of The Private Jet Company, a Palm Beach, Fla.-based firm that specializes in the purchase and sale of mid-size and large business jets.
