King Air Market Report Fall 2026

The King Air C90 market softened further in Q3. Transactions slipped again from 12 to 10, while available inventory rose from 28 to 32 aircraft. Values dropped about 2%, reaching the lowest mark in this dataset. Velocity continued to stretch, moving from roughly 7 months to nearly 9. Last quarter's report noted the extended velocity was worth watching if transactions did not pick back up, and they did not. The C90 market has moved out of its slight seller lean and into balanced territory, with buyers gaining some leverage heading into Q4.

The B200 market remained firmly in buyers' territory in Q3. Inventory climbed from 69 to 77 aircraft, the highest level in this dataset, even as transactions picked up from 18 to 23. Values held flat for the fourth consecutive quarter. Velocity eased slightly from nearly 12 months to just over 11 but remains the slowest in the King Air segment. The rise in sales is encouraging, but supply continues to outpace demand, and buyers retain clear leverage across most of the market heading into Q4. The exception remains aircraft equipped with Garmin G1000 NXi avionics with Autoland and Autothrottle installed. Sellers of these aircraft continue to see premium prices, and in a market this deep, that equipment is one of the clearest ways for an airframe to separate itself from the rest of the inventory.

The King Air 350 market cooled slightly in Q3 after Q2's surge but remained active. Transactions eased from 28 to 21, still one of the stronger non-Q4 quarters in this dataset, while inventory rose from 46 to 50 aircraft. Values held flat for the sixth consecutive quarter, and velocity improved ever so slightly from roughly 6.6 months to 6.1. Demand remains healthy, and specifically for the 360 market, it holds its seller's lean heading into Q4, though the uptick in inventory throughout the other 350 and 350i markets is worth watching.
