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. Buyers increasingly prioritize resale value when selecting aircraft to minimize financial loss.
- High production volumes and multi-year manufacturer backlogs signal strong, sustained market demand, helping preserve asset value. Low-volume niche models suffer steeper depreciation curves due to limited secondary market liquidity.
- With a new price of $10.5M to $11.5M, the Embraer Phenom 300E remains a top-performing asset. Its dispatch reliability exceeds 99.8%, creating global fleet liquidity that effectively reduces its depreciation curve.
- Beyond light jets, the Gulfstream G650ER and Embraer Praetor 600 offer strong residual value retention. The G650ER starts at $70M to $75M new, while the Praetor 600 delivers transatlantic range from $21M.
- 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 needs.
