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.

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. The four segments do not move together, which is why the index is reported segment by segment rather than as a single number.

Reported segments
MRO / Repair Stations
Scarcity is lifting margins and multiples.
FBO / Charter
Values steady as flight activity normalizes.
Parts / Avionics
Aftermarket demand keeps multiples firm.
Flight Training
Pilot demand supports asset-light valuations.
Labor

Mechanic Scarcity Index

A quarterly gauge of certificated aircraft mechanic supply against the demand the flying fleet creates. The two are moving in opposite directions. Aircraft coming to market are older and need more maintenance hours, while 41% of US certificated mechanics are already over 60 and roughly 45,000 are expected to retire within the decade. The scarcity index is elevated, which is durable pricing power for MRO and repair-station owners.

The evidence behind the reading
74%
Of business jets listed for sale are 16 years or older, up from 70% a year earlier.
10%
Shortfall of certificated mechanics against commercial demand, still 7% in 2035.
9,000
New FAA mechanic certificates issued in 2024, against a maintenance workforce above 431,000.
13,100
Openings projected each year through 2034, many of them replacing workers who retire.
