The Gulfstream G600 has established itself as one of the premier large-cabin business jets in service today. Combining Gulfstream’s modern Symmetry Flight Deck, exceptional cabin comfort, and intercontinental performance, the G600 continues to attract strong interest from both corporate operators and private owners seeking next-generation capability without the acquisition cost of the flagship G700 and G800 models.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 3 Gulfstream G600 aircraft available for sale worldwide, representing just 1.5% of the fleet.
Inventory has remained exceptionally tight throughout the past six months. Available aircraft declined from 3 listings in December and January to 2 aircraft from February through May, before increasing slightly to the current level. Such limited availability reflects strong owner retention and continued buyer demand for late-model Gulfstream aircraft.
With only three aircraft currently offered for sale globally, buyers face a highly competitive acquisition environment.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $45,000,000 to $54,000,000, with active listings averaging 181 days on market.
As expected in the large-cabin segment, pricing is influenced by factors including aircraft age, total time, maintenance status, cabin configuration, connectivity packages, and delivery position. The limited number of available aircraft makes direct market comparisons difficult, often resulting in pricing premiums for well-equipped examples.
Despite the relatively long average marketing time of current listings, scarcity continues to support overall values.
Sales Activity
During the past six months, 7 Gulfstream G600 aircraft have sold, including 3 off-market transactions, representing 3.4% of the fleet. Reported sales ranged from $42,500,000 to $62,000,000, with sold aircraft averaging just 72 days on market.
The significant difference between active listing days on market and sold aircraft days on market highlights an important trend: properly priced G600s continue to transact quickly. Nearly half of all reported sales occurred off-market, further emphasizing the demand for quality aircraft and the importance of industry relationships in locating acquisition opportunities.
Key Takeaways
• Only three G600s are currently available worldwide, representing 1.5% of the fleet
• Inventory has remained extremely limited throughout the past six months
• Seven aircraft sold during the reporting period, including three off-market transactions
• Sold aircraft represented 3.4% of the global fleet over the last six months
• Average sold days on market (72) are substantially lower than active listing averages (181)
Key Insight
The Gulfstream G600 remains one of the strongest seller’s markets in business aviation. Extremely limited inventory, healthy transaction volume, and a meaningful percentage of off-market sales indicate that buyer demand continues to exceed available supply. For owners considering a sale, market conditions remain favorable, while prospective buyers should expect competition for high-quality aircraft that reach the market.
