Aero Asset’s  2022 twin-engine helicopter market report reveals a continuing tight used market. Compared with the previous year, transactions of preowned twins fell 4 percent, the number of helicopters for sale dropped 11 percent, light twin retail sales fell 10 percent, and the supply for resale decreased in all asset classes in 2022. However, the aggregate value of transactions increased by 2 percent, to $558 million on 171 helicopters.

Tight supply led to more interest in helicopters 20 years and older, where sales “experienced a strong resurgence,” according to Valerie Pereira, vice president of market research for the consultancy.
