The pre-owned large jet market is outpacing every other part of the business aviation resale market this year. According to JETNET’s JIQ Market Barometer, published October 5, 2026, large jets posted 825 pre-owned transactions over the twelve months through August, up 17.9% and the strongest growth of any cabin class. Across all business jets, transaction […]

Every large-cabin business jet flying today traces part of its lineage back to one airplane. The Gulfstream II was the first business jet to combine a big, stand-up style cabin with the range to cross an ocean, and in 1968 it proved it by flying nonstop from New Jersey to London. It also gave Savannah, […]

For roughly 40 years, owners of legacy Cessna Citations could fly their aircraft solo with the right training and a logbook endorsement. That ended this week. On September 28, 2026, the FAA published a notice in the Federal Register rescinding every Citation single-pilot exemption for the older, two-pilot-certified Citation models, effective September 29. There was […]

No call sign in aviation carries more weight than Air Force One. Whenever the President of the United States is aboard any Air Force aircraft, it becomes Air Force One, and Air Force One history is really the story of how presidential air travel evolved from a converted cargo plane in World War II to […]

On September 16, 2026, OneFlight International, a Colorado-based private jet card broker, posted a notice on its website pausing all flight activity for the next 30 days, or until further notice.

Most aircraft earn a place in aviation history with a single breakthrough moment. The Beechcraft King Air earned its place by simply refusing to stop. More than 60 years after its first flight, it is still in production today, still the best-selling business turboprop family in the world, and still the answer for owners who […]

A Stowe private jet trip is the easiest way to catch Vermont’s fall foliage at its peak without losing a day of the trip to traffic on I-89. Stowe sits in the shadow of Mt. Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak, and the last week of September through the first two weeks of October is when the […]

Bombardier announced on September 1, 2026 that it will acquire the assets of MHI Canada Aerospace, Inc. (MHICA) in Mississauga, Ontario, bringing an existing wing-production supplier in-house.

Most business jets earn their place in history by being fast, or comfortable, or first. The Dassault Falcon 20 earns its place by being two things at once. It is the aircraft that turned a French fighter manufacturer into a permanent fixture of American business aviation, and it is the aircraft that gave a young […]

The business jet market Q2 2026 numbers, released by Global Jet Capital in its latest Business Aviation Market Brief, tell a story of a market that looks healthy on the surface and gets more interesting the closer you look.

New Jersey’s business aviation market is smaller by aircraft count than some of its neighbors, but it is one of the most concentrated in the country. Based on the current in-state fleet, 448 business jets and turboprops call New Jersey home, and the numbers behind that fleet point to a market built around a single […]

Few aircraft, in any category, carry a legacy that rivals the Learjet 23. It didn’t just introduce a new airplane, it introduced the world to a whole new form of aviation. When the first one rolled out of Wichita in 1964, nobody could have predicted that six decades later, people would still call any small […]
