As preowned twin-engine helicopter prices steadily increased in 2024, a drop in the number of deals and the growing supply of aircraft for sale could signal “a possible cooling trend,” according to market analysts at Aero Asset. The helicopter trading and market intelligence firm released its “2024 Annual Heli Market Trends: Twin-Engine Edition” report on Monday at Verticon.

“Our research shows a slowdown in 2024 deal volume and a growing supply for sale,” said Valerie Pereira, v-p of market research at Aero Asset. “However, the resilience in transaction prices—an 11% year-over-year increase—highlights the continued demand for quality preowned twin-engine helicopters, despite supply fluctuations.”
