AUG 2022

A DETAILED LOOK INTO THE CURRENT PRE-OWNED PILATUS MARKET THIS PILATUS WAS SPOTTED IN OSHKOSH WITH AN UPGRADED MT 7-BLADE PROP.


INTRODUCTION

PILATUS PC-12 MARKET OVERVIEW FOR AUGUST 2022 “Motivated Seller. Price Reduced for Immediate Sale. Price Drastically Reduced. Owner Purchased Replacement Aircraft. Price Reduced!”

These are actual “taglines” and “advertising strategies” we have recently seen in the PC-12 market. What does this mean

for those of you that own a PC-12 or are looking to buy/sell one? As of today, it means very little. Actual transactional data

suggests sale prices have flatlined. However, in the world of “Brokerville,” sales organizations knowingly and enthusiastically took on listing projects and agreed to price aircraft well above market value. These bad-acting brokers who purposely inflated the market are the same ones that will bring it right back down, or at least attempt to do so. There are eight

airplanes on the market that have been available for 30-60 days; five airplanes that have been available between 60-90

days, and nine airplanes that have been on the market for over 90 days. In the hottest market in history, how are airplanes sitting on the market and not selling? The common theme amongst them is that they’re overpriced, nearing engine

overhaul, and/or have damage history. It’s these airplanes that are the ‘Motived Sellers,’ ‘Price Reduced for Immediate Sale,’ ‘Drastic Price Reduction,’ etc. The market is balanced when there are equal number of willing buyers and willing sellers.

Market dynamics determine values—not pipe dreams and sale pitches by aircraft brokers that don’t know anything about the airplane. Today, we are witnessing these results.

The good news is, if you’re reading this, you’re ahead of the sales pitches. The Pulse is arming you with the data to make informed decisions and provide you with perspective on what is occurring.

In the last 30 days we’ve seen a shift in the market data which is depicted above. Last month, aircraft Under Contract had a higher average asking price than the aircraft which remained for sale. Today the inverse is true. The reason is, as the market slowed down for the summer, the airplanes which have come onto the market have higher asking prices relative to their competitors. This market shift will likely lead to price reductions in the near future. However, as we touched on in the introduction, actual transaction prices have remained fairly consistent. We continue to see buyers being drawn toward the higher pedigree aircraft and they are willing to pay for such. The fact that higher priced aircraft are what remain available simply shows the market has pushed back. Aircraft which are not priced correctly and do not represent current fair market value are not selling. Buyers today are being patient and waiting for the right airplane to come along. We like to say, “There will always be another airplane” and this is more true today than ever before.

JETSWISS UPDATE

A SMOOTH SUMMER AT JETSWISS

Happy first-time Pilatus owner, Susan

If you follow our social media pages (hint, if you don’t, now is a good time to do so) you likely saw our team attended Oshkosh. It was a great week for reuniting with friends and customers, having fun, and seeing some awesome airplanes. While we have had some fun enjoying the summer, our team has also been hard at work behind the scenes. We delivered a great aircraft to some fantastic folks (first-time buyers!). Our marketing department launched this publication and revamped our jetswiss.com membership portal. Our client relations department has worked feverishly to improve our communication channels to our customers. Our operations department has added another airplane to its management fleet and hired a new team member (Go Gage!). Collectively, we’ve seen projects start, finish, and continue to evolve. As we turn the page to the fall, our organization is ready to support our clients— whether its buying, selling, or operations. Looking forward to more exciting projects getting off the ground as we push toward the end of 2022!

Founded in 2014, JetSwiss Aviation is a boutique aviation group specializing in acquisition, sales, management and operation of pre-owned Swiss-made business aircraft. We see more pre-owned Pilatus projects than anyone else in the world. Interested in learning more about Pilatus ownership? Our experts are here for you. Please reach out to pilatus@jetswiss.com.
