So States Aero Asset’s 2022 Heli Market Trends Report
Aero Asset—a Toronto, Canada-based helicopter trading firm and publisher of market synopses pertaining to both twin-engine and single-engine pre-owned helicopters—has released its 2022 Heli Market Trends Report.
Subject report chronicles a four-percent downturn in twin-engine helicopter transactions during the 2022 calendar-year.
Notwithstanding a diminished rate of supply-drop, helicopters available for sale in 2022 retracted 11-percent compared to 2021, thereby bringing the market’s absorption rate to its lowest point in four-years.
Aero Asset vice-president of market research Valerie Pereira stated: “North America and Europe accounted for 73-percent of twin-engine helicopter resale activity in 2022; Europe saw a twenty-percent decline in transaction volume year-over-year.” Ms. Pereira added: “Sales of aircraft twenty-years and older experienced a strong resurgence in 2022, compared to the previous year.”
During 2022, the aircraft sales market saw retail sales of 171 preowned twin-engine helicopters—an annual decline of four-percent. However, the $558-million value of subject transactions occasioned a two-percent year-over-year increase. The number of deals pending at various stages of transaction in 2022’s fourth-quarter increased by 35-percent over the same time period in 2021. The deal-pipeline, however, remained, on average, 15-percent lower than it was in 2020 and 2019.
The best performing preowned twin-engine helicopter in 2022’s market was Airbus’s H135, followed by the company’s H145 model and Sikorsky’s S76C+/C++. Conversely, the worst performing preowned twin-engine helicopters in the 2022 market were Leonardo’s AW169 and Sikorsky’s S76D—neither of which sold a single (preowned) unit in 2022. The biggest year-over-year drop among contemporary helicopter offerings was Bell’s 429, which fell from number-two in 2021 to number-ten in 2022.
Throughout 2022, supply for sale continued to decrease in all helicopter classes, with retail sales of medium and heavy twin-engine helicopters remaining stable year-over-year. Light twin retail sales declined ten-percent over the same period.
