The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) reported 316 completed aircraft transactions in Q1 2025, marking a 24% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Despite this strong activity, the association’s latest Market Report reflects a more cautious outlook due to global economic uncertainties, including tariff-driven stock market volatility that emerged in April.
While overall demand remains steady, exclusive sales contracts have declined, suggesting a shift toward a buyer’s market. IADA-accredited dealers are completing transactions 40 days faster than the industry average, but pricing pressure is expected across most aircraft categories, with turboprops showing the most resilience.
Dealer sentiment highlights challenges tied to tariffs, fluctuating interest rates, and unclear fiscal policies, particularly in the United States. While some segments remain strong—especially newer pre-owned aircraft—dealers are preparing for possible slowdowns and greater inventory pressure as 2025 progresses.
