AMSTAT releases latest Aircraft Valuation Tool Report indicating a recent uptick in business aircraft values.

According to AMSTAT and the new AMSTAT Aircraft Valuation Tool, the average estimated values for most business aircraft segments have risen since the start of Q4 2017.

The AMSTAT Aircraft Valuation Tool (AVT) calculates objective real‐time estimated values for business aircraft. The AVT Quarterly Aircraft Values Report provides the market with the normalized average estimated value for business aircraft by segment over the last 12 months. According to the AVT, three market segments have seen their average estimated values tick upwards since the start of Q4 2017:

– In the Heavy Jet segment, while the average estimated value dropped ‐3.5% over the last 12 months, from $15.9M to $15.4M, since October 2017, this value is up +9.2%;

– In the Super‐Mid segment, while the average estimated value dropped ‐5.9% over the last 12 months, from $7M to $6.6M, since September 2017, this value is up +19%;

– In the Turbo‐prop segment, while the average estimated value dropped ‐6.7% over the last 12 months, from $2.4M to $2.2M, since October 2017, this value is up +3.9%.

The Light Jet segment has been more consistent with the average estimated value up +8.2% in the last 12 months from $2.2M to $2.4M.

“The increase in estimated values reflects recent increases in market demand and a tightening market with fewer options for buyers” said Andrew Young, AMSTAT General Manager. He went on to add, “changing market conditions further emphasis the need to access the real‐time aircraft estimated values provided by the AMSTAT Aircraft valuation Tool”.
