Turboprop Market Update
More inventory, sold faster. Except the light King Airs.
The US turboprop fleet stands at 8,103 aircraft in operation across 123 tracked models, with 528 advertised for sale. That is 23 more listings than a month ago on a fleet that grew by 4, taking the share on the market from 6.2 percent to 6.5 percent.
The turboprop market remains tighter than the jet market, which sits at 7.4 percent, and it remains slower to clear at 298 days against 252.
More inventory, sold faster. Except the light King Airs.
The month's movement is concentrated in the King Airs, and it runs in two directions. King Air Large added 7 listings, the largest proportional increase in the report, and the average sale still completed 39 days quicker than in August at 242 days.
King Air Medium added 5 listings and shortened by 8 days. King Air Light went the other way: one listing more, and 15 days slower, at 460 days. That is the longest average anywhere in either the jet or the turboprop market, and it has now lengthened for a second month.
At the owner-flown end, 10 additional listings cleared 13 days faster. Cabin-Class Singles remain the tightest segment in the report at 3.0 percent of fleet listed. Legacy Twins continue their slow retirement, with the fleet down 6 aircraft on the month and the average sale out to 360 days.

Asking range is the span of model-level average asking prices within each segment, not the range of individual aircraft. It is an asking figure in every case, never a transaction price.
Model averages are a starting point, not a valuation
What the numbers are, and what they are not
Aircraft trade off market, and identical variants trade at very different numbers depending on airframe time, engine position, avionics and upgrades. Model-level averages cannot carry that range. Every price in this report is an asking figure, never a transaction price.
Fleet counts, listings, days on market and asking prices come from the JETNET STAR report Aircraft Market Statistics By Model (Aircraft Based, Global / United States / International), All Turboprops, dated 31 August 2026. Headline figures cover United States based aircraft in operation.
All 123 tracked turboprop models appear in the full report's appendix; the 5 with no US-based aircraft carry a world fleet count only. Model rows sum to the source report totals of 8,103 US in operation and 528 US for sale. Asking prices are model-level averages of advertised United States prices, rounded to the nearest $1,000; 51 models carry no US asking figure and are shown as n/a rather than filled from the worldwide average. Days on market is listing-weighted. Segment definitions are Integris classifications. Month-on-month comparisons are to the August 2026 turboprop edition, which was built on the same basis.
