Today we're breaking down the core market metrics to help owners, buyers, and corporate flight departments make informed decisions in the current environment. Let's start with a look at the current supply and pricing. There are currently six aircraft actively for sale globally, which represents 4.3% of the total in operation fleet. For those evaluating this inventory, most sellers are requiring buyers to inquire directly or are listed at Make Offer. When we evaluate recent sales, most pre-owned transactions are occurring in the $40 and $50 million ranges. In terms of transactional velocity, timing remains steady. The average time it takes for an available aircraft to transition to a new owner, the days on market, is currently 210 days. This reflects a highly calculated and methodical market where both buyers and sellers are taking the necessary time for thorough, pre-purchased due diligence. Despite that number and patient pacing, transactional volume has remained resilient. Looking back at the historical trends, retail sales have seen a steady rhythm, logging three transactions per month, with a massive 16-aircraft peak this past December. Approximately two-thirds of those transactions are new aircraft deliveries. This continuous buying and activity has successfully maintained a balanced market, giving us a current absorption rate of around 6.5 months. In summary, this market remains resilient, and steady fleet operations are helping to maintain values. I would give the current Global 6500 market an A, market demand rating.
