King Air Market Report Summer 2026

The King Air C90 market cooled in Q2 after two quarters of steady tightening. Options for available aircraft did tighten from 30 to 28, but transactions slipped slightly from 13 to 12. Values held essentially flat, down about half a point. Velocity moved the other direction this quarter, stretching from roughly 5 months to 7, giving back some of the compression seen in Q1. With inventory still historically tight but the pace of sales easing, the C90 market remains balanced with a slight seller lean for aircraft that are priced appropriately. The extended velocity is worth watching if transactions do not pick back up in Q3.

The B200 market remained firmly in buyers' territory in Q2. Inventory eased only slightly from 71 to 69 aircraft, staying near the highest levels in this dataset, while transactions ticked up marginally from 17 to 18. Values held completely flat for the quarter. Velocity continued to stretch, rising from roughly 10 months to nearly 1 2, the slowest pace in the King Air segment, as the deep inventory pool continues to outrun demand. Buyers retain the clear leverage heading into Q3. The exception to this is those that are equipped with Garmin G1000Nxi Avionics with Autoland and Autothrottle installed. Sellers are seeing premium prices for models outfitted with this equipment.

The King Air 350 market rebounded sharply in Q2 after Q1's pullback. Transactions doubled from 14 to 28, the strongest non-Q4 quarter in this dataset. Inventory tightened meaningfully, falling from 59 to 46 aircraft, a 22% drop. Values held flat for the quarter, and velocity was steady as well at 7 months from quarter to quarter. The Q1 slowdown looks to have been a one-quarter pause rather than a trend, and with inventory now tightening alongside a transaction surge, the 350 market has shifted from balanced toward a clearer seller lean heading into Q3.
