“2018 is starting off as a great year for the pre-owned aircraft market. I am confident this trend will continue – especially aircraft sales in the United States – due to the new tax reform that allows for 100% expensing of pre-owned aircraft purchases. This new tax savings is a great incentive for aviation companies big and small to upgrade their fleets over the next couple years,” said Jeff Melang, Executive Vice President of SkyQuest International.
