Jet Tracker Index

A snapshot of the Brazilian pre-owned business aircraft market. October 2026 edition, data read on 10/13/2026.

Preliminary · subject to revision

14.5%

of Brazil’s business jets are listed for sale

That is 192 distinct aircraft out of a fleet of 1,323 jets, as a central estimate. Depending on how listings of the same aircraft are merged, the figure runs from 11.3% to 18.8%: most Brazilian listings show neither tail number nor serial number.

Median asking price, in US dollars, per aircraft

What sellers ask

These are asking prices from listings, not sale values: Brazil has no public source of transaction prices. A minority of aircraft show a price, and those that do are not a random sample of the market. No median is published with fewer than 5 priced aircraft, and no quartiles with fewer than 20. Prices in Brazilian reais are converted at the exchange rate of the day the listing was read.

From listing to aircraft, for jets

How the number is built

Counting listings overstates the market. Each step below removes what is not a whole, pre-owned aircraft for sale in Brazil.

371jet listings live on the portals read
minus 80flagged as sale suspended by the portal itself
minus 19factory-new, located abroad, fractional share only, already sold, listing no longer online or registration cancelled in the Brazilian registry
272listings that count
minus 80the same aircraft listed more than once, usually by the same seller on more than one portal
192distinct aircraft (150 low, 249 high)

Of the 31 with a tail confirmed in the Brazilian registry, 24 are operational and 7 suspended. That is why the fleet base includes both.

Glossary

What each term means

Fleet: Aircraft in the Brazilian Aeronautical Registry (RAB), operational or suspended, of the models Jet Tracker classifies as business aviation. Reserved marks and cancelled registrations are excluded.
Listed: A whole, pre-owned aircraft located in Brazil with a live listing on at least one of the portals read.
Not counted: Sale suspended, factory-new aircraft, aircraft located abroad, fractional share only, listing marked as sold, listing no longer online and registration cancelled in the registry.
Distinct aircraft: Listings with the same tail number or serial number are one aircraft. Without identity, two listings of the same model and year are merged when total hours differ by up to 50 hours or the photo is the same. Without hours, an identical asking price or the same broker on another portal counts.
Low, central and high: These are three ways of merging listings, not a statistical margin of error. High uses only tail number, serial number and duplicates checked by hand. Central adds the evidence above. Low counts every listing of the same model and year as a single aircraft.
Median asking price: Half of the aircraft ask more, half ask less. The lowest asking price of each aircraft is used, in US dollars.
Under negotiation: Still counted as listed: the seller keeps offering and the deal may not close.
Thin sample: A segment with fewer than 30 listed aircraft or a fleet under 150. The count is published, the percentage is not.

Limits

What this index does not measure

The market outside the portals. A large share of sales in Brazil happen through direct relationships. The index measures what is advertised.
Sale prices. The Brazilian registry records no value. Every price here is an asking price.
Identity. Only 31 of the 192 jets have a registration confirmed in the Brazilian registry. The rest are inferred from model, year and total hours.
Hours tolerance. The central estimate merges two listings of the same model and year when total hours differ by up to 50. Portals update hours at different paces, and a listing with no year is never merged: both tend to raise the count.
Model. A listing read with the wrong model changes segment, and the count with it.
Brazilian aircraft listed abroad. Only listings located in Brazil are counted. A Brazilian-registered aircraft listed abroad is in the fleet and outside the count.
Transactions. A change of title in the registry does not distinguish a sale from a corporate restructuring. Left for a later edition.
Time on market. The date available is the day the listing was read, not the day it entered the market. Not published.
Change over time. Portal coverage grew during 2026. There is no comparable earlier edition: this one is a snapshot.
Foreign aircraft in Brazil. A listing on a Brazilian portal with no country stated counts as Brazil. A foreign-registered aircraft for sale here enters the count without being in the fleet. This tends to matter most for large jets, where foreign registration is more common.
Page checks. On three Brazilian portals every listing page was opened: 30 of 540 were no longer online and were removed. On the other portals this check was not done in this edition.
Other fleet counts. Industry bodies publish fleet figures with their own criteria and dates. Here the fleet is the registry on the reading date, under Jet Tracker’s business-segment rule.

And what is not advertised?

The index measures the advertised market. The off-market search shows the aircraft no portal is offering.
