Q4 2026 baseline · updated quarterly

Private Jet Price Index what used business jets are worth, by class and age

Values for 12 flagship jets and turboprops from Radar’s valuation model, at two to twenty years old, with typical hours and an engine program. Q4 2026 is the index’s base: every model and class is 100 this quarter, and each quarter from Q1 2027 adds a reading against it.

Updated October 5, 2026. Next update: Q1 2027.

THE INDEX

Index by class, Q4 2026 = 100

Each model’s index compares its same-age value this quarter with its value in the base quarter; a class’s index is the geometric mean of its models. This is the first quarter, so every figure is the base. The Q1 2027 reading is the first that can move: up when the market pays more for the same jet, down when it pays less.

VALUES BY CLASS AND AGE

Typical value ranges by class and age

The lowest and highest model value in each class at each age, including each model’s own range. A class with one model at an age shows that model’s range.

METHODOLOGY

How the index is built

  • The model. Values come from Radar’s valuation model, the model behind the aircraft value tool. It is calibrated per model to reported sales, current asking prices and licensed market evidence, and adjusts for age, total hours, engine program status and engine life used.
  • The reference aircraft. Each model is valued with typical hours for its age (its usual annual utilisation times its age), on an engine program, with 58% of engine life used. Its index aircraft is ten years old, or the nearest age the model was built at; that age is fixed when the model enters the index, so later quarters value a same-age example and aging does not count as a price change.
  • The index. Model index = this quarter’s reference value / its base-quarter value x 100. Class and composite indices are geometric means of model indices, equally weighted. Turboprops have their own class and are left out of the jet composite.
  • Checks. Each quarter, every model is compared with the recent reported sales it holds (69 this quarter; average gap 8%). A model more than 12% from those sales on the median is held back from the index until it is recalibrated. Held back in Q4 2026: Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Gulfstream G650.
  • Baseline, honestly. The model does not hold a back series of quarterly values, so we do not reconstruct one. Q4 2026 is the base; the series grows one quarter at a time, and each published quarter is kept as published.
  • Limits. Values are model estimates, not appraisals or sale prices. A particular aircraft’s price depends on its records, inspections due, damage history, cabin and avionics, which no class-level figure can capture.

QUESTIONS

Price index questions

What is the Private Jet Price Index?

A quarterly index of used business jet values from Radar's valuation model. Each of 12 flagship models is valued as a same-age example every quarter (a ten-year-old where the model was built ten years ago), and the index compares that value with the Q4 2026 base, which is 100. Class indices are the geometric mean of their models' indices.

Why is every index value 100?

Q4 2026 is the index's first quarter, its base. Radar's valuation model is recalibrated as new sales and market evidence arrive, but it does not hold a back series of quarterly values we can publish honestly, so the index starts here rather than being reconstructed. The Q1 2027 reading, published in January, will be the first change against the base.

How much is a ten-year-old private jet worth?

In Q4 2026, by Radar's model: light jets $7.11M to $8.62M; midsize jets $7.99M to $9.42M; super-midsize jets $13.7M to $16.6M; large-cabin jets $18.4M to $28.3M; ultra-long-range jets $24.4M to $30M; turboprops $4.19M to $5.96M. A single aircraft can sit outside its class range: hours, engine program status, inspections due, damage history and records quality all move the price.

Where do the values come from?

From Radar's valuation model, the model behind Radar's aircraft value tool. It is calibrated to reported sales, current asking prices and licensed market evidence, and checked each quarter against recent reported sales of each model: across 69 sales the model's average gap was 8%. Models whose values sit more than 12% from those sales are held back from the index until they are recalibrated.
