Just as David Bowie’s “Changes” captivated audiences in 1971 with its theme of constant reinvention, we, as aviation analysts and forecasters, are fascinated by the dynamics of change. By combining broad economic measures with JETNET iQ Survey data, we provide a wealth of real-time insights for industry decision-makers.

But what do these insights—and the shifts they reveal—suggest about the current state of the business aviation industry? While economic growth forecasts remain flat, stock markets, especially in the U.S., are white-hot. And despite declines in fleet utilization and aircraft sales, there are bright spots, particularly in the MRO world that warrant closer consideration. Understanding these changes is crucial for navigating market risks and seizing opportunities, further emphasizing the importance of staying informed.
