Which private jets hold their value best?
BlackJet says depreciation, backlog and fleet size determine resale strength, with some models losing about 35% of value in five years.
- Private jets lose around 35% of their original value over the first five years, prompting buyers to prioritize resale value when selecting aircraft models to minimize financial loss.
- High production volumes and multi-year manufacturer backlogs signal strong, sustained market demand that preserves asset value. Conversely, low-volume niche models suffer steeper depreciation curves due to limited secondary market liquidity.
- The Embraer Phenom 300E, priced new between $10.5M and $11.5M, maintains high residual value through dispatch reliability exceeding 99.8%. Its massive global fleet footprint creates secondary-market liquidity, giving it one of the lowest depreciation curves.
- Other value leaders include the Gulfstream G650ER, priced new at $70M to $75M, and the Embraer Praetor 600 at $21M to $23M. These models represent value sweet spots across ultra-long-range and super-midsize categories.
- BlackJet suggests the best-value aircraft minimizes depreciation while matching 80% or more of an owner's specific mission profile. Buyers should balance operating costs against ownership needs versus charter services.
