The average asking price on a low-time pre-owned Bombardier Global 7500 sits within roughly five percent of new-build list. That number is from the JETNET iQ Q1 2026 outlook, and it is the cleanest single data point in the ultra-long-range business jet market right now. The strongest examples (factory-fresh interiors, sub-200-hour airframes) trade at parity to new despite three years of operation. The 7500 has been in service since December 2018. The fleet cleared 150 delivered airframes by September 2023, per Bombardier's own press surfaces. Pre-owned listings remain countable on two hands at any given moment.
Across the Bombardier Global series public delivery record, the JETNET iQ Q1 2026 outlook, AINonline coverage of the Global 7500 production cadence, the Gulfstream G650ER pre-owned market history since the G700's FAA certification in March 2024, and Dassault Falcon 8X delivery cadence and pre-owned listings, the parity-pricing pattern resolves into a tight supply story rather than an unusual quality story. Two desks confirmed the read on the U.S. side, with a third covering the European market on background.
Three patterns resolve out of the data. First, the 7500 is not depreciating on the curve that any post-war business jet has followed. Second, the parity behavior is a supply signal, not a brand-loyalty signal. Third, the same supply discipline reads across to the Gulfstream G700 slot market and forecasts the shape of the Falcon 10X price band when that airframe finally enters delivery. The buyer who wants ultra-long-range capability before late 2027 is operating in a market where the new-build line and the secondary market price the same thing.
The 7500 is depreciating like a watch, not a car. Five percent off new on a low-time airframe is the discount in the market, not a forecast.

The parity-pricing read
The Global 7500 entered service in December 2018 as Bombardier's ultra-long-range flagship, 7,700 nautical mile range, four-zone cabin, GE Passport engines. List price at certification ran roughly $73 million; current Bombardier-press reference places it near $75 million for a 2025 configuration. The fleet has scaled to over 150 delivered airframes per Bombardier's September 2023 press release, with deliveries continuing at a cadence of approximately 30 to 35 airframes per year through 2024 and into 2025.
That production cadence matters. The 7500 is not a low-volume halo product. It is Bombardier's primary ultra-long-range revenue earner. The fact that pre-owned examples trade at parity despite a steady stream of new-build deliveries is the read. In a normal business jet depreciation curve, a three-year-old airframe with 600 to 900 hours sits 20 to 25 percent below new-build list. JETNET iQ Q1 2026 data on the 7500 places the equivalent listing within 5 percent. The lowest-hour airframes, sub-200 hours, factory-original interior, no incident history, trade at par.
The pre-owned listings themselves remain thin. AINonline coverage from Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 places the active 7500 pre-owned book between five and nine airframes at any given moment, depending on the week. Two are typically the same airframe relisted at incrementally lower asking prices. The genuinely available, marketable inventory is closer to four to six.
Why the 7500 holds: the supply mechanism
Parity pricing on a three-year-old airframe is a function of three supply-side facts.
First, the new-build line is sold out into late 2026. A buyer ordering today is looking at a 2027 or 2028 delivery. The buyer who can take a low-time pre-owned 7500 in 60 to 90 days pays the same dollars but gets the airframe two to three years sooner. The premium on a slot is the premium on time.
Second, the operators flying the 7500 are not selling. The current fleet is concentrated among large flight departments, fractional operators, and family offices that bought the airplane for the range, the cabin, and the mission profile. None of those buyer classes turns over inventory in three years under normal conditions. The pre-owned listings that surface tend to come from fleet rationalizations, divorces, or estate sales rather than from operators who simply traded up.
Third, Bombardier's production cadence is not expandable without significant capital investment in the Toronto Pearson Bombardier Aviation campus, where the Global 7500 is assembled. Industry coverage suggests the line cannot move past 35 to 40 airframes per year inside an 18-month window without a multi-hundred-million-dollar capacity expansion. Bombardier has not signaled that expansion is on the table.
Each of the three facts compresses the spread between new-build pricing and secondary market pricing. When the three combine, the spread closes to parity.
The G650ER comp: depreciation in a normal market
The Gulfstream G650ER is the cleanest comparison for what a normal ultra-long-range pre-owned curve looks like. The G650ER entered service in 2014, was Gulfstream's flagship through the G700's March 2024 FAA certification, and has a delivered fleet of over 500 airframes. The pre-owned book on the G650ER currently runs 30 to 45 airframes at any given moment per the major business aviation listing services.
Pricing on the G650ER pre-owned curve since the G700 certified has behaved exactly the way classical aviation depreciation predicts. A 2019 to 2021 G650ER with 1,200 to 1,800 hours currently trades between $42 million and $48 million against a new-build list of roughly $70 million in 2024. That is 32 to 40 percent below new on a four to six year old airframe with normal-utilization hours. The curve compounded once the G700 entered delivery and operators with sequential Gulfstream relationships began the upgrade cycle.
The G650ER pattern is what a healthy pre-owned market looks like when supply expands faster than incremental demand. The G700 is the new flagship; the G650ER becomes the second-best Gulfstream ultra-long-range; the depreciation curve resumes the shape it would have followed had the G700 launched on its original 2022 target.
The 7500 is on the opposite curve because there is no parallel Bombardier successor airframe. The Global 8000 entered service in early 2025 with an extended-range envelope but a substantially overlapping cabin and mission profile; it is not an across-the-board replacement the way the G700 replaced the G650ER. The 7500 remains Bombardier's primary ultra-long-range play through at least 2030.
The Falcon 8X read: different curve, same supply story
The Dassault Falcon 8X is the third ultra-long-range data point and tells the same supply story from a different angle. The 8X entered service in 2016, has a delivered fleet of roughly 100 airframes, and competes against the 7500 and G650ER on range while differentiating on cabin width, fuel burn, and short-field performance.
The 8X pre-owned market is thinner than either Bombardier or Gulfstream because the new-build cadence is lower, roughly 12 to 18 airframes per year. JETNET listings in Q1 2026 carry between four and seven 8X airframes at any given moment. Pricing on a 2020 to 2022 8X with sub-1,000 hours runs $42 million to $48 million against a current new-build list of roughly $58 million. That is 17 to 28 percent below new, closer to the G650ER curve than the 7500 curve, but materially shallower than what a normal market would produce.
The 8X parity-adjacent behavior is a different mechanism. Dassault's Falcon 10X delay (covered in the Bryant peer piece on the Falcon 10X certification timeline) keeps 8X owners in their airframes. The 10X was originally targeted to enter service in 2025, has slipped twice already, and is widely expected to slip a third time. An 8X operator who would normally trade up to the 10X is sitting still until certification clarifies. That holds 8X pre-owned inventory off the market and supports the residual.
Two ultra-long-range airframes (the 7500 and the 8X) trading shallow against new-build list. One ultra-long-range airframe (the G650ER) trading on the normal curve, because its successor airframe is in delivery. The pattern is supply-side, not buyer-loyalty side.
What this tells you about ultra-long-range supply
The ultra-long-range business jet segment is in a supply discipline cycle that has no clear out before 2028.
Three things would change the picture. Bombardier could announce a production-rate increase on the 7500, which would require capital and would be visible 18 to 24 months before deliveries hit the curve. Gulfstream could accelerate the G700 production cadence past the current 50 to 60 airframes per year, which AINonline coverage suggests Savannah does not have the capacity to absorb inside an 18-month window. Dassault could deliver the Falcon 10X on its current 2027 to 2028 target, which would absorb meaningful demand and free 8X inventory.
None of the three is the base case. The Bryant peer piece on the Falcon 10X delay treats the third slip as the base case. Bombardier has not signaled a 7500 production-rate change. Gulfstream's Savannah capacity constraint is structural.
The buyer's read is straightforward. Ultra-long-range capability priced at parity to new on the 7500 secondary market is not a temporary mispricing. It is the supply equilibrium for at least the next 24 months. The 5 percent discount on a low-time 7500 represents the operational risk premium plus a modest holding-cost adjustment, not a depreciation forecast.
The position-holder's read is the same picture from the other side. A buyer who acquired a 7500 between 2019 and 2022 at $73 million to $74 million is sitting on an asset that has held materially better than the new-aircraft depreciation models predicted. Selling into the parity-pricing market is a real option, particularly for operators considering a fleet-rationalization step toward fractional operations.
Three questions for a 7500 buyer
First, ask the broker about the maintenance status of the airframe and engines against Bombardier's Smart Services program enrollment. A 7500 enrolled in the manufacturer's hourly cost program transfers cleanly with maintenance reserves intact. An airframe outside the program carries unpriced exposure on the GE Passport engines in particular, where overhauls run into seven figures per engine.
Second, ask for the original delivery configuration and the post-delivery completions record. The 7500's four-zone cabin and proprietary Bombardier Vision flight deck involve a meaningful number of optional packages that affect both utility and resale. A factory-original interior with no in-service modifications transfers more cleanly than an airframe that has been through a partial interior refresh.
Third, ask whether the airframe has a service entry letter from Bombardier confirming no airframe-life-affecting incidents. Bombardier's quality control on incident disclosure is strong, but the documentation request is the buyer's leverage on price negotiation. An airframe with a clean service entry letter trades at the listed asking price. One without typically carries a $1 million to $2 million negotiation band.
The comp table
1. Bombardier Global 7500: in service since December 2018, 150+ fleet by September 2023 (Bombardier press). ~$75M list (2025 reference). Low-time pre-owned within 5% of new per JETNET iQ Q1 2026. The parity-pricing case.
2. Bombardier Global 8000: in service early 2025. ~$78M list. Pre-owned book too thin to mark. The 7500 stablemate.
3. Gulfstream G700: certified March 2024 (FAA); 50+ fleet by May 2025 (Gulfstream). ~$79M list. Pre-delivery slot premium $3.0-5.5M per the Bryant G700 slot market peer piece. The slot market case.
4. Gulfstream G650ER: in service 2014, 500+ fleet. ~$70M list (2024 reference). $42-48M at 4-6 years and 1,200-1,800 hours. The normal curve.
5. Dassault Falcon 8X: in service 2016, ~100 fleet. ~$58M list. $42-48M at 4-6 years and sub-1,000 hours. The held-by-delay case.
6. Dassault Falcon 10X: delayed, certification target 2027-2028 per Dassault; broker base case 2029+. ~$75M list. Not in delivery. See the Bryant peer piece on the Falcon 10X delay for the supply disruption case.
Read of the table
Two patterns run through the comp set. The first is that ultra-long-range pre-owned pricing tracks new-build supply cadence with little reference to airframe age within the first six years of service. The 7500 is three to seven years old in the active fleet and trades at parity; the 8X is four to nine years old and trades 17 to 28 percent below; the G650ER is four to ten years old and trades 32 to 40 percent below. The age band is similar across the three. The supply curves are not.
The second is that the parity-pricing case on the 7500 is the cleanest leading indicator of where the G700 pre-owned market settles in 2027 and 2028 once that airframe accumulates enough in-service fleet to develop secondary listings. The G700 today is trading on slot premiums because there are no real pre-owned listings yet. As the active fleet clears 150 airframes (on pace for late 2026 at current Gulfstream cadence), the early-delivery operators begin to surface in the secondary market. The Bryant base case is that the G700 pre-owned book opens at parity to new through 2027, then begins a normal depreciation curve as the Falcon 10X enters delivery and demand absorption begins.
The Bryant Read
The parity-pricing case on the Bombardier Global 7500 is the cleanest single read on ultra-long-range business jet supply available right now. Two desks confirmed the JETNET iQ Q1 2026 data point in independent conversations. The Falcon 8X behavior frames the supply mechanism from a second angle. The G650ER curve frames it from a third by showing what depreciation looks like when supply expansion engages.
The buyer's actionable read is that the 7500 secondary market is not currently priced for a near-term correction. The 5 percent spread between new-build list and low-time pre-owned asking represents the operational risk premium on the airframe, not a depreciation forecast. The buyer who needs delivery in 2026 is paying market price either way, and the secondary market simply offers delivery sooner. The buyer who can wait until 2028 has the option to revisit the equation when the Falcon 10X delivery cycle clarifies.
