An Appraiser’s View of the King Air Market
WHAT’S
As an aircraft appraiser, I often get casual questions like “what’s the King Air market doing?” My standard answer is, “it depends.” When looking at an aircraft that has been in production as long as the King Air, there are many variables. It is generally impossible to accurately describe what an entire market is doing based on the many production changes to that particular model.
Not many airplane models can claim continuous production for 50 years. With production starting late in 1964, the King Air’s success and versatility has led to many variations over the past five decades. With each variation comes a different type of buyer with a different mission profile and a different type of market.
