LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Inventory level increases persist for pre-owned jets and continue a slow recovery among used turboprop aircraft, but asking values for aircraft in both of these Sandhills Global marketplaces are beginning to trend downwards. Details about these and other aircraft market trends are available in Sandhills’ newest market reports, which also track used piston single aircraft and Robinson piston helicopters.
“We’ve seen used aircraft inventory increases throughout 2023, particularly among pre-owned jets, which have posted month-over-month increases since early 2022,” says Controller Department Manager Brant Washburn. “Large and midsize jets are showing the quickest increases within the overall jet market. But now we’re seeing asking values take a dip month-over-month for jets and turboprops, with the biggest decrease in the large jet group.”
