Glintero's Jet Market Briefing

The Hawker 900XP is often discussed as one of the strongest value options in the pre-owned midsize jet market. But value is not created by a low asking price alone. In this episode of Glintero's Jet Market Briefing, Onur Baylan breaks down when a Hawker 900XP makes sense, where buyers need to be careful, and why two aircraft that look similar in photos can carry very different financial exposure....

In aircraft transactions, the sale does not really start when the listing goes live. It starts earlier — when a serious buyer asks, “Can we review the records?” In this episode of Glintero's Jet Market Briefing, Onur Baylan explains why aircraft sellers need to prepare the technical story before going to market. From maintenance reports and inspection timing to engine/APU program status, data room...

Most buyers are waiting for prices to drop. They won't. As of Q1 2026, only 4% of the global business jet fleet is listed for sale — down 12% year-over-year, well below the balanced-market threshold of 8-10%. The Iran conflict is a commercial aviation story. Business aviation operates differently: fractional programs are hedged, demand hasn't collapsed, and sellers who could list are sitting tight...

70% of business aviation deals involve financing — and lenders are being more demanding than they've been in years. Not just "show us your logbooks." More like: complete engine records tied to serial number, TBO reset documentation, damage history with shop entries. Miss one and the deal doesn't just get complicated — sometimes it doesn't close. This episode breaks down why documentation quality i...

The Airline Crisis Is Business Aviation's Inflection Point Jet fuel doubled. Airlines cut 7% of flights. TSA chaos grounded commercial terminals. In the last week of March, business aviation surged 11.3% year-over-year — North America at 13.3%, South America at nearly 24%. This is not a temporary spike. The commercial aviation system broke in multiple places at once, and high-value travelers are c...

Business jet shipments up 11%. Billings up 16%. Record year. That's great news — and it's exactly when buyers start making expensive mistakes. Hot markets compress timelines, degrade advice quality, and push buyers into accepting pre-buy conditions they'd normally reject. I break down why the buyers who navigate bull markets well aren't smarter — they just built the right advisory relationship bef...

In most aviation transactions, your broker is paid by the seller. That's not representation — it's a conflict of interest with a business card. I explain why fee-based buyer advisory changes everything: from pre-buy findings that actually get flagged, to the ability to tell you to walk away when the aircraft isn't right. If you're spending $10M+ on an aircraft, the person advising you shouldn't be...

Every year, aircraft change hands for tens of millions with inspections that barely scratch the surface. The seller picks the facility. Logbooks get skimmed, not audited. Fresh paint distracts from corrosion. Engine programs create false confidence. In this episode, I walk through the five ways pre-purchase inspections keep going wrong — and what a real PPI actually looks like. Read the full artic...

The pre-owned jet market in 2026 isn't one market — it's two. Challenger 650s sell before they're listed. G550s from 2005 sit for six months with no takers. In this episode, I break down what's driving the split: program coverage, connectivity upgrades, and fleet age. If you're shopping pre-owned and not distinguishing between the fast lane and the slow lane, you're about to learn an expensive les...
