Global Jet Capital’s latest business aviation market update shows the bizjet sector holding steady while backlogs continue to expand, with backlogs rising nearly 20% in the second quarter. The report, published by AIN on 18 August, points to a market that is still supported by healthy demand and longer lead times for business jets.
The update frames the industry as resilient despite wider uncertainty, with OEM order books remaining strong across the sector. Business jet departures and transaction activity also stayed healthy in the first half of 2026, while delivery levels remained broadly stable. Lead times at major manufacturers continued to stretch, underlining persistent pressure on production capacity.
Global Jet Capital’s assessment suggests the market entered the second half of the year with solid fundamentals, even as supply chain and labour constraints continued to shape output. The report positions rising backlogs as the clearest sign of sustained demand, rather than a short-term spike in activity.
