Asking values for used piston single, turboprop, and jet aircraft in Sandhills Global marketplaces all declined in December, retreating from the all-time highs these aircraft categories had reached in November.
“Asking values for used aircraft still remain elevated, but as used inventory levels continue to trend upwards from the historical lows of early 2022, sellers need to carefully monitor aircraft value trends in the near future,” says Controller Department Manager Brant Washburn.
