Relatively strong economies in the US and in Europe are providing tailwinds that are as welcome as a warm sea breeze at the end of summer in the business aviation market.
As of mid-August 2018, just eight examples of the Gulfstream G650/G650ER were listed as ‘For Sale’ according to JETNET data, representing just 2.8% of the installed base of more than 300 aircraft.

Other examples reflect a similar market dynamic, with buyers having to move quickly – and pay something at or close to the asking price – if they want to see themselves in the Captain’s chair of one of these elegant business jets.aircraft.
