KING AIR 260
Market SNAPSHOT
There are currently five aircraft actively for sale globally, which represents 5.6% of the total in operation fleet. For those evaluating this inventory, the only published asking price across available aircraft stands at $6.5 million. Valuations across all model years come in between the low $6 million and mid-$7 million range. In terms of transactional velocity, timing has shortened year over year. The average time it takes for an available aircraft to transition to a new owner, the days on market, is currently 120 days. This reflects a market where quality options are limited and being scooped up quickly. Transactional volume is low. Looking back at the historical trends, retail sales have averaged just one transaction every other month. With only 90 in operation and limited activity thus far on the used market, this is to be expected. The low resale transaction volume, combined with four out of five listings being internationally based, gives us a current absorption rate of just under 12 months. In summary, this remains a seller's market. Retail opportunities and transactions are still limited, partially driven by OEM backlog on new units. I would you give this market an A demand rating.

Inventory levels have increased 200% from a year ago, but only from one unit to three units. Despite the increase, only 3.3% of the overall fleet is for sale, which is very low. All aircraft on the market are international, and we don't have any indication that prices have changed in a meaningful way over the past 12 months. 260s are selling at a slower pace. The days on market has increased 86% from this time last year. This appears to be driven by the lack of domestic-based options on the market for sale over the last year. There have been nine retail sales over the past 12 months, with four of them transacting in December. No additional King Air 260s have transacted since the beginning of 2026. The vintages of aircraft that have sold since the beginning of December range from 2021 to 2022 models. Based on recent supply and demand trends, there's currently about seven months of inventory on the market for sale. In summary, this market is strong with very limited available inventory.

Inventory levels are still up 50% from a year ago. But only up to 3 units total. Despite the increase, only 3.3% of the overall fleet is for sale, which is very low. All aircraft on the market are international, and we don't have any indication that prices have changed in a meaningful way over the past 12 months. The Days on market has increased 72% from this time last year, and up significantly over the past couple months. This continues to be driven by the lack of domestic-based options on the market for sale over the last year. There have been 8 retail sales over the past 12 months, with 4 of them transacting in December. No additional King Air 260s have transacted since the beginning of 2026. Based on the recent supply and demand trends, there's currently about 6 months of inventory on the market for sale, a slight short-term improvement from a couple months ago. In summary, this market is strong with very limited available inventory.
