Which private jets hold their value best?
BlackJet says depreciation, backlog and fleet size determine resale strength, with some models losing about 35% of value in five years.
- Private jets are depreciating assets that lose around 35% of their original value over the first five years. Consequently, buyers increasingly prioritize resale value when selecting aircraft models to minimize financial loss.
- Market demand, evidenced by healthy manufacturer backlogs, helps sustain the value of established jet models. Low-volume niche models suffer steeper depreciation curves due to limited secondary market liquidity.
- The Embraer Phenom 300E, priced new between $10.5M and $11.5M, maintains high residual value. Its dispatch reliability exceeds 99.8%, creating global fleet liquidity that significantly reduces its depreciation curve.
- Other value leaders include the Gulfstream G650ER, priced new at $70M to $75M, and the Embraer Praetor 600, offering transatlantic range starting at $21M. These models provide strong infrastructure support and efficient cabin technology.
- BlackJet analysts suggest the best-value aircraft minimizes schedule disruption while matching 80% or more of an owner's mission profile. This approach balances operating costs against ownership versus charter service needs.
