Used Helicopter Sales Slump—Again
Aero Asset notes a "parallel decline in both transactions and supply.”

The bounce in used helicopter sales in the second half of 2020 seems to have been triggered more by bargain prices than by any real market recovery. So suggests first-quarter 2021 data from Canadian consultancy Aero Asset, which reported this week that retail sales of preowned twin-engine helicopters dropped to pre-pandemic levels. “Comparing the first quarter of 2021 with [the same quarter in] 2020, the on-market supply of twin-engine helicopters for sale decreased to pre-pandemic levels,” said Valerie Pereira, Aero Asset v-p of market research. “We saw a parallel decline in both transactions and supply.”
