The Most Important Data To Consider When Searching Private Jets For Sale


Select inventory that matches your search criteria, and you’ll find comprehensive data on that individual aircraft. You’ll have instant access to images of the aircraft, recent stats, interactive contact information for the IADA Accredited Dealer representing the listing, and much more.

A price comparison may seem like the most appropriate place for potential buyers to start. However, we recommend comparing these key criteria, which allow you to better assess an aircraft quality, value, and suitability for your needs:

Usage - hours and cycles: Total hours in the air and cycles (takeoffs and landings) indicate how hard this private aircraft has worked. Like any mechanical asset, lower figures relative to its age indicate lighter wear-and-tear. You should additionally consider hours and cycles for a potential plane’s engine(s), prop(s) & APU.

Avionics: Your chosen aircraft should list all included avionics (the electronics included in the aircraft, from flight control and navigation to entertainment features). Some aircraft will list potential capability tiers (what avionics packages are compatible with your jet) if you decide to do more research and upgrade these electronics.

Maintenance programs and coverage: The aircraft may list coverage for the engines, APU, parts and avionics by identifying a company and program that covers maintenance and support. You can research the specific maintenance programs to determine what value you are receiving from these coverage options.

Interior and exterior: Listings will often highlight recent interior and exterior upgrades and refurbishments. Customizing or adjusting some interior characteristics such as galley equipment, paint colors, fabrics, materials and finishes may be simple cosmetic fixes. While things like passenger or storage capacity and configuration may require a larger cabin overhaul to meet your specific preferences or mission needs.

Updates and additional features: Look for recent upgrades like maintenance coverage extension, new radar systems, whether the jet is hangared, and additional electronics or mechanics installed, such as innovative weather software or special entertainment features.

If you discover other specifications and features you’re curious about, work with an IADA Accredited Dealer to get your questions answered by the IADA Certified Broker representing that jet.
