THE RETURN OF 100% BONUS DEPRECIATION: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOUR NEXT AIRCRAFT PURCHASE

Big news for business jet buyers: 100% bonus depreciation is back. If you're considering a private aircraft purchase, this may be the most financially strategic moment in years.

Bonus depreciation allows you to deduct the full purchase price of a qualifying aircraft in the year it's placed into service. That means you can take advantage of immediate tax savings, strengthen your cash flow, and preserve capital for other priorities — all in one move.

Why Now Is the Time to Move

In 2025, new legislation reinstated 100% bonus depreciation for eligible aircraft — both new and pre-owned — used primarily for business. Unlike past years where benefits were reduced, buyers now have a renewed opportunity to claim the full deduction upfront.

This has already sparked growing interest across the industry. Buyers are acting quickly, knowing full well that favorable tax policies don't always last. Markets are tightening as inventory shrinks and demand rises.

What You Need to Qualify

To take advantage of the full deduction, your aircraft must be used mainly for business and placed into service during the current tax year. Clear documentation of business use is essential, and you’ll want to be working closely with the right experts to ensure you meet all necessary requirements.

At Jet Agency, we’re here to guide you through every step. We’ll help you choose the right aircraft, streamline the acquisition process, and collaborate with your tax and legal team to make sure everything aligns. Whether you’re new to private aviation or expanding your fleet, we tailor the experience to fit your mission and maximize your return.
