Moon Jet Group, a global aircraft trading and advisory firm, today released its market outlook forecasting that 2026 is poised to become one of the busiest years for business aviation in more than a decade, driven by renewed economic confidence, pro-growth policy direction under the Trump administration and the anticipated impact of the widely referenced “big, beautiful bill.”
According to Moon Jet Group, the legislation, viewed by markets as strongly supportive of investment, entrepreneurship and wealth-generating, is already influencing long-term planning across the business aviation sector.
Aircraft owners, corporations and high-net-worth individuals are increasingly re-engaging in fleet planning discussions after a prolonged period of uncertainty.
James Moon, Founder at Moon Jet Group said: “Policy clarity matters in business aviation.
“The Trump administration’s pro-business stance and the passage of the big, beautiful bill have materially improved confidence.
“That confidence translates directly into aircraft transactions, fleet upgrades and long-term investment decisions.”
Business Aviation Positioned to Reach New Heights Moon Jet Group believes the current policy environment creates meaningful tailwinds for business aviation by encouraging capital deployment, supporting job creation and recognising private aviation as a strategic enabler of commerce rather than an asset of luxury.
As a result, the firm is seeing increased engagement from both first-time buyers and experienced owners and operators, particularly those planning acquisitions or replacements aligned with multi-year growth strategies.
“Business aviation thrives when decision-makers have visibility,” added James.
“We believe the coming cycle will reward those who act decisively and 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year.”
Strong Demand Meets Limited Supply
Despite rising interest, the supply of high-quality pre-owned aircraft remains constrained, particularly in the super-midsize and ultra-long-range types.
Extended OEM issues are continuing to push buyers toward the secondary market, intensifying competition and reinforcing the importance of early engagement and expert advisory support.
Moon Jet Group expects these dynamics to persist through 2026, contributing to elevated transaction activity and more strategic, off-market dealmaking.
