The Gulfstream G550 market continues to show healthy transaction volume alongside relatively controlled inventory. With 33 retail sales over the past six months compared with 18 aircraft currently available, buyers remain active despite the wide range of aircraft ages, configurations, and values represented within the fleet. Inventory has also remained stable over the past three months, suggesting the market is absorbing new supply at a reasonable pace.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 18 Gulfstream G550s available for sale, representing just 2.9% of the fleet.
For-sale inventory has generally declined since February, when 21 aircraft were available. Supply fell to 19 in March and 15 in April before increasing slightly to 17 in May. It has remained at 17 aircraft through June and July, indicating a relatively balanced and stable inventory environment.
With less than 3% of the fleet currently offered for sale, buyers have options, but overall supply remains limited relative to the size of the G550 fleet.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $14.0 million to $34.95 million, reflecting the significant differences in age and specification found across the G550 fleet. Recent retail sales have ranged from $10.25 million to $29.0 million.
Aircraft currently available average 196 days on market, compared with 169 days for aircraft sold during the past six months. That difference suggests buyers continue to reward aircraft that are appropriately positioned, while listings that miss the market can accumulate meaningful time on market.
Sales Activity
The G550 recorded 33 retail sales during the past six months, including 18 off-market transactions, representing 5.3% of the fleet.
Monthly activity has remained strong overall, with 8 sales in February, 4 in March, 5 in April, and 2 in May. Activity then accelerated significantly with 8 sales in June and another 6 in July.
The 14 transactions completed during June and July alone represent more than 40% of the six-month sales total, providing a strong finish to the period.
Key Takeaways
• 18 aircraft are currently available, representing 2.9% of the fleet.
• Inventory has remained relatively stable since May.
• 33 aircraft sold during the past six months, including 18 off-market transactions.
• June and July combined for 14 sales, showing strong recent buyer activity.
• Current listings average 196 DOM, versus 169 days for recently sold aircraft.
• Asking prices range from $14.0 million to $34.95 million, while recent sales range from $10.25 million to $29.0 million.
Key Insight
The G550 is showing a favorable combination of low relative inventory and strong transaction volume. Six-month sales represent 5.3% of the fleet, comfortably exceeding the 2.9% currently offered for sale, while activity strengthened considerably during June and July. At the same time, the broad pricing range means buyers are likely to remain selective. Aircraft that are properly positioned for their age, condition, maintenance status, and overall specification should continue to attract attention, while sellers testing the upper end of the market may face longer marketing periods.
