JETNET Webinar Explores Economic Uncertainty, Tariffs, and Trade Trends in Business Aviation

UTICA, N.Y., June 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- JETNET, the leading provider of business aviation market intelligence, recently held its webinar, "Turbulence Ahead? Navigating Tariffs, Trade, and Economic Uncertainty in Business Aviation," which brought together leading industry experts to analyze today's evolving market landscape. Hosted by Paul Cardarelli, JETNET's Vice President of Sales, the panel featured Kevin Michaels, Managing Director of AeroDynamic Advisory; Richard Koe, Managing Director of WINGX; and aviation industry thought leader, and Creator/Director of JETNET iQ, Rollie Vincent.

The discussion addressed the complex dynamics affecting business aviation today, including persistent supply chain disruptions, shifting policy landscapes, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. While these factors contribute to a sense of caution, the panel discussion noted that the latest market data indicates continued resilience and strategic opportunities.

Key insights from the webinar include:

• Strong Demand in the Preowned Market: Preowned business jet transactions rose 36.5% year-over-year, driven by interest in light and mid-cabin jets. However, inventory levels are rising and aircraft are taking longer to sell as values begin to soften.
  
  
• Optimistic Outlook for New Deliveries: New aircraft deliveries are forecast to increase by 8% in 2025. With production slots already sold out for many OEMs, backlogs remain strong.
  
  
• Growth in Fractional Ownership: The fractional ownership model saw a 10% year-over-year increase, as more users explore flexible alternatives to whole aircraft ownership
  .
• Global Growth Opportunities: Emerging markets—including Brazil, Mexico, and the Middle East—are becoming vital to long-term growth, with OEMs increasingly targeting expansion beyond North America.
  
  
• Stable U.S. Market Conditions: Despite global headwinds, the U.S. market continues to demonstrate steady performance, with strong domestic demand helping to offset international volatility.

"Our data on market sentiment," states Vincent, "is signaling that demand for new airplanes is likely to be lower over the next twelve months. However, we're keeping our forecast intact for this year when it comes to 820 new business jet deliveries, barring any unforeseen supply chain problems."

The webinar is part of JETNET's ongoing commitment to providing in-depth analysis and forecasting to help business aviation professionals make informed decisions.
