Pre-Owned Helicopter Sales Down in 2022
Aero Asset has released its Heli Market Trends 2022 Annual Single Engine Report. Subject treatise shows 2022 sales of pre-owned single-engine helicopters were down 12-percent compared to 2021.
The report is germane to and addresses recent, retail sales of single-engine pre-owned helicopter models in production and all variants thereof.
In all, 2022 saw the sales of 212 pre-owned single-engine helicopters, the combined dollar values of which equaled $387-million—down 15-percent from 2021.
Aero Asset vice president of market research Valerie Pereira remarked: “North American buyers accounted for nearly sixty-percent of all single-engine transactions in 2022, while retail transactions in Europe fell forty-percent year over year. Inventory for sale plummeted forty-percent year over year, but rose in the fourth quarter, and actually tripled in North America between the second and last quarters of 2022.”
2022’s most liquid pre-owned market was that of the Airbus AS350 B3/H125, followed by the Bell 407/GX/P/I, and the Airbus EC130 B4/H130. All three markets boast just five months of supply at 2022 trade levels. Conversely, the least liquid market was that of Leonardo’s AW119, which despite its unfavorable ranking maintained a strong absorption rate of ten-months.
VIP single-engine helicopters accounted for sixty-percent of all transactions in 2022, while the supply of helicopters configured for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) remained at an all-time low. All told, the supply of utility helicopters for sale dropped thirty-percent year over year.
