LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The newest Sandhills Global aviation market reports show inventory levels increasing month over month for aircraft in all segments, which include pre-owned jets, piston single airplanes, turboprop airplanes, and Robinson piston helicopters. Inventory is currently approaching levels observed in late 2023, prior to January 2024 decreases.
"The aircraft market overall is slowing, but that is not unusual during the summer months," says Controller Department Manager Brant Washburn. "We expect sellers will adjust their asking prices based on changing conditions, and the market will pick up again heading into the fall season."
Asking prices are trending down for used jets and turboprop aircraft, with jets declining at a higher rate. Asking prices are trending sideways for used piston single aircraft and increasing for used Robinson piston helicopters.
