Available used business aircraft inventory continued to shrink in June, according to information provider Sandhills Global. Sandhills—whose products include Controller, Charter Hub, Aviation Trader, Aircraft Cost Calculator, and AircraftValuation—released its latest aviation market report, finding the inventory tightening cuts across multiple aircraft segments.
On the business jet front, inventory levels fell by 0.15% month over month and 19.21% from June 2025, according to the company. Super-midsize jet inventory did tick up by 8.55% month over month, but large-jet inventory is down by 40% year over year (YOY).
Turboprop inventory has trended down for seven months, with June levels dipping by 13.67% YOY. Meanwhile, piston-single inventories increased by 2.48% from May but are still down 14.08% YOY. On the rotorcraft front, Sandhills pointed to Robinson piston availability down by 17.14% YOY in June.
“Aircraft inventory remains tight across much of the market, particularly among jets and turboprops, where inventory levels are still trending lower compared to last year,” said Controller sales manager Terrin Mohl. “Used turboprops have seen sustained declines for over six months, while piston-single aircraft inventory has remained relatively stable.”
