BizAv has been through many crises before. The current crisis has a global impact, how is <strong>Jet</strong>craft adapting to the situation?<br />
Our global presence is critical right now, as conditions are changing so fast in each region. We’re matching sellers with buyers around the world<br />
through our global network of 20+ offices. Moreover, we are one of few companies with the continued ability to take in trades, allowing us to<br />
help our customers avoid any risky crossover periods during this time.<br />
<strong>Jet</strong>craft customers can remotely view aircraft they wish to purchase. All our aircraft are marketed using the most up to date and highest quality<br />
photos and videos and we can facilitate on-the-ground virtual aircraft viewings as needed.<br />
At the end of the day, the health and safety of our staff, partners, customers and their families is paramount. It’s too soon to tell what will<br />
happen, but our priority is to gather as much information as we can. We stand ready to serve our industry and to be a resource for anyone that<br />
needs us. This is a time for everyone in business aviation to double down on resources and capabilities in order to help our clients properly<br />
mitigate and manage through this period.<br />
What was the situation on the pre-owned market before the pandemic?<br />
Fortunately, the pre-owned market entered into COVID-19 at a healthy level. The overall market was relatively balanced with reasonable supply<br />
and demand, which resulted in reasonable values for pre-owned and new models. This is a major difference versus 2008 when manufacturers<br />
had long lead-times, there were speculative buyers, and aircraft were over-valued. In addition, many major corporations today have the cash<br />
reserves to sustain a crisis, Governments are acting faster to implement packages to help small businesses, and banks, although cautious, are<br />
still open for business.<br />
