Market Report

 Now, before we look at the market, a quick reminder of why the G550 remains so popular with roughly 6,700 nautical miles of range, a spacious, multi-zone cabin, and Gulfstream's reputation for reliability. The G550 continues to be one of the most capable and proven ultra-long-range business jets in operation today. Let's start with the overall market summary. There are currently 618 G550s in operation worldwide. The production years range from 2011 to 2020, with pre-owned prices ranging from the mid-11s to over $30 million. The last model year, when new, had a base price of $55 million. At the moment, 17 aircraft are listed for sale, with 7 in pending status, leaving actual availability at just 10 aircraft. That represents only 1.6% of the global fleet, which is an exceptionally tight supply environment for a large-cabin, ultra-long-range aircraft. Now looking at inventory and pricing trends on the past 12 months, inventory levels have moved lower by 48%, and that limited supply has helped support values. Average pre-owned asking prices are up approximately 26% from May of 2025, reflecting continued strength in this segment. It's also important to note that not all aircraft are moving at the same pace. The aircraft attracting the strongest biologists are late. Model lower time 550s with strong pedigree, updated interiors, and current engine and APU program coverage. These aircraft tend to move quickly once they come to market. Now by contrast, the old aircraft with higher time and dated interiors often remain on the market longer, which can skew overall days on market stats, which is currently sitting at 233 days. When you isolate the newer aircraft, the absorption rate is significantly faster than the broader averages suggest. Looking at transaction activity, there have been 82 retail sales over the past 12 months, confirming that the G550 continues to be one of the most active aircraft in the large cabin pre-owned market. From a supply and demand standpoint, the 550 has a healthy 3.7 month absorption rate. further illness. illustrating the high demand for this model. In summary, the G550 market remains very healthy with strong buyer demand and limited late model inventory. Well-positioned aircraft, particularly late model examples with good pedigree and program coverage, continue to attract serious attention from buyers.
