Preowned twin-engine helicopter supply dropped 26% in 2025 to a five-year low while median pricing increased 10%, according to Aero Asset’s annual Heli Market Trends Twin-Engine report released on March 10 during Verticon.
Heavy-twin median pricing reached a five-year high, and medium-twin median prices rose 17%, the report indicates. Light-twin pricing is holding steady.
“Despite softer transaction volume in 2025, tightening supply bolstered pricing and strengthened overall market equilibrium,” said Valérie Pereira, v-p of market research at the Toronto-based broker, dealer, and helicopter sales and market intelligence firm. “Median transaction prices continued to rise, and the shorter time to sale reflected sustained demand for well-positioned twin-engine helicopters in 2025.”
Retail sales declined across all asset classes. Light twin-engine helicopter sales declined 7% year over year while supply dropped to a five-year low. Medium-twin retail sales declined by 11%, while supply remained steady. Heavy-twin sales fell to a five-year low with supply declining 22%.
North America accounted for 38% of global retail transactions in 2025, followed by Europe with 22%. Asia-Pacific posted the strongest year-over-year retail sales increase at 29%, while Latin America rose 20%. North America was the only region to record an increase in available inventory, with supply rising 6%.
The Airbus EC/H145 market offered the strongest liquidity, followed by the Bell 429 and Airbus EC/H135. Among tracked twin-engine models, the Airbus EC225 and Sikorsky S76D markets recorded the weakest liquidity.
Aero Asset also announced the launch of an advisory services division at Verticon. Julie Guédon was appointed senior director of advisory services to lead the division. Thales do Couto Neto and Camilo Bicudo were appointed directors of market research.
“More than ever before, industry stakeholders want market data that informs strategy, capital allocation, pricing, timing, and risk management,” Aero Asset co-founder Emmanuel Dupuy said of the expansion.
