How the Model/Market Summary Began

The Model/Market Summary originated from a simple customer request. A client contacted Duncan Aviation's Aircraft Sales team looking to upgrade from his light business jet to an aircraft offering greater payload capacity and range.

To help narrow the options ahead of their meeting, the team compiled a detailed comparison of every aircraft model in the light jet category, outlining several key specifications to make evaluating the available options easier.

Using a straightforward process of elimination, the team worked with the customer to identify the aircraft model that best aligned with his needs. Just one month later, the customer closed on an available aircraft.

Recognizing the value of this approach, Duncan Aviation continued refining the Model/Market Summary and expanded it to include additional aircraft size categories. Today, the resource is updated and published quarterly, giving aircraft buyers access to valuable market information as they evaluate their next purchase.
