Last month, Sandhills Global reported a resurgence in used aircraft inventory levels, which continued into March, particularly in the late-model used aircraft segment.

     “Although the bulk of available used aircraft in the market is five years old or older, we’ve seen an uptick in used late-model aircraft inventory levels over the past few months,” says Controller Department Manager Brant Washburn. “Late-model aircraft inventory levels increased more than 20% since February while other age groups increased marginally.” 

    Sandhills offers various aviation products, including Controller, Controller EMEA, Executive Controller, Charter Hub, Aviation Trader, Aircraft Cost Calculator, and AircraftEvaluator. AircraftEvaluator, Sandhills’ proprietary asset valuation tool for all aircraft types, is built using the same technology behind FleetEvaluator. Renowned for its accuracy, FleetEvaluator is widely trusted across equipment, truck, and trailer industries for identifying asset values.

    The cornerstone metric in Sandhills’ market reports is the Sandhills Equipment Value Index (EVI), which provides crucial insights for buyers and sellers to monitor equipment markets and optimize acquisition, liquidation, and related business decisions. The EVI encompasses equipment available in auction and retail markets, as well as actively used model-year equipment.
