Swartz Aviation Group has completed four Bombardier Challenger transactions within a three-month period, reflecting continued demand for large-cabin and super-midsize business aircraft. The completed activity included three Challenger 605 aircraft and one Challenger 350.
Two of the transactions involved internationally based aircraft, with one located in Canada and another in Argentina. In both cases, Swartz Aviation structured and managed the import process, enabling the aircraft to be brought into the United States without tariff exposure for the buyers. While internationally based aircraft are sometimes overlooked by buyers unfamiliar with regulatory and tax considerations, they can represent viable opportunities in a constrained domestic market.
“When structured correctly, international transactions can open access to aircraft that may not be available domestically, without introducing unnecessary risk or cost,” said John Swartz, Founder and President of Swartz Aviation Group.
Ongoing tariff considerations, together with limited domestic inventory, continue to influence buyer strategy. As a result, a growing number of buyers are evaluating internationally based aircraft as part of their acquisition planning.
Swartz Aviation advises buyers and sellers across both U.S.-based and international transactions, supporting clients through import and export considerations, regulatory compliance, inspections and closing structures.
Transaction Activity Reflects Broader Market Trends
The recent Challenger transactions align with broader market patterns that favour newer-generation aircraft with established performance, range and long-term operational support. Challenger 605 aircraft, particularly those configured for 12 passengers, continue to attract consistent buyer interest. At the same time, the Challenger 350 remains one of the most actively traded super-midsize jets in the market.
“Many owners begin with aircraft like a Pilatus or Embraer and transition into larger-cabin platforms as their mission evolves,” Swartz said. “Our role is to provide consistent guidance throughout that progression.”
Across the wider market, transaction activity continues to favour aircraft that support scalable ownership and global operations. These include Pilatus PC-12 and PC-24 aircraft, Embraer Phenom 300 and 300E models, Praetor 500 and 600 jets, Bombardier Challenger 300, 350 and 605 platforms, as well as Dassault Falcon 2000 and 900 series aircraft.
