Amstat: Preowned Helicopter Sales Outpace 2019, 2020
Single-engine turbine helicopter transactions saw the biggest and most consistent increases in 2021, while multi-engine pricing improved more, Amstat says.

Transactions of preowned single- and multi-engine turbine helicopters surpassed 2019 and 2020 levels last year, with singles seeing more consistent year-over-year improvements and multi-engine aircraft experiencing upward pricing, according to industry data analyst Amstat.

In its report on the turbine helicopter market released Tuesday, Amstat said preowned single-engine transactions in 2021 beat the 2020 activity by 25 percent and 2019 by 30 percent. Last year, transactions in this segment were up year-over-year in every month except January. Newer helicopter turbine singles—those younger than 10 years—by far outpaced their older counterparts, showing a 70 percent leap in transactional growth.
