The preowned twin-engine helicopter market showed resilient pricing and steady supply but fewer sales last year, according to rotorcraft sales firm Aero Asset. At the start of Heli-Expo 2024 this week, the Canadian company—which launched in 2019—released its year-end Heli Market Trends Report, focusing on the twin-engine segment.

While the market reached a state of equilibrium in 2022, retail sales in light twins declined by 8 percent last year and the medium twin class decreased by 28 percent. The heavy twin segment, however, saw sales climb by 36 percent year-over-year (YOY), equating to an overall 12 percent decrease in helicopter sales volume, while average transaction price increased by 10 percent year YOY.
