When a group of buyers insists on buying new products, never secondhand, and likes to update frequently, it wields disproportionate influence on the market. Business aircraft buyers in China, it seems, comprise such a group. Chinese buyers like big aircraft. Unless their tastes change considerably-and so far there are scant signs that they are-mainland China is likely to heavily import newly built large, super-large and ultra-long-range business jets, plus corporate versions of airliners. It will export them as used aircraft. Logically, that will boost the supply of big business aircraft in the global secondhand market, perhaps nudging their prices lower.
