NAFA member JETNET releases their second edition of the JETNET IQ Market Monitor.
Q1 data has shifted a few of the patterns we previously flagged, and there are segments where the picture looks meaningfully different from what we reported. Download our latest report to see what's changed.
What the new data shows:
- Global bizjet departures reached 3.9 million on a trailing 12-month basis, up 5.0% YOY — but the Middle East contracted 11.4% in Q1 2026 following the February conflict outbreak
- The pre-owned transaction trend recovered to +16% YOY in December 2025, then softened to just +1% by March 2026 as macro uncertainty weighed on buyer confidence
- New deliveries eased to 750 units TTM, pulling back from 809 units in full-year 2025 — though OEM order books remain at decade-highs
- Latin America (+11.3%) and Africa (+13.0%) led regional growth, while emerging markets now account for nearly 15% of global departures
The macro backdrop has shifted too. The 2026 GDP forecast has been revised down to 3.1%, equity markets retreated from late-2025 highs, and Middle East fuel uplift is running more than 40% below pre-conflict norms with no recovery trajectory yet visible.
