The Only Benchmarks of Their Kind

Aviation Market Indexes

Most aviation market data tracks aircraft. Our quarterly indexes track what the aircraft sit in and the businesses that maintain, fly, and service them, built entirely from public data and published each quarter.

Hangar Storage

GA Hangar Rent Index

The first quarterly market-rent benchmark for US general aviation hangar storage. The Index closes the gap that has frustrated every appraiser, airport sponsor, and FBO acquirer working in this niche: until now there was no independent benchmark for what hangar space actually rents for. Tracked from a 2010 base of 100, the Index stands near 149 today.

Business Values

PABVI: Private Aviation Business Value Index

A quarterly read on the value of privately held aviation businesses, reported by segment so it applies whether you run an MRO, an FBO, a parts business, or a flight school. Built entirely from public data against a 2020 base.

Labor

Mechanic Scarcity Index

A quarterly gauge of certificated aircraft mechanic supply against demand. Roughly 70% of the pre-owned business-jet fleet for sale is now 16 years or older, and the mechanic workforce is aging toward retirement. The scarcity index sits about 14% above its 2020 level, which is durable pricing power for MRO and repair-station owners and the single biggest driver of the business-value index this quarter.

114.0
About 14% above 2020
