As one of the most liquid and the most traded models in the global pre-owned market, the AS350/H125 family of helicopters has experienced significant changes in their supply-demand ratio over the past three years. Demand has increased year-on-year, which can be reflected in the annual transaction volume. The recorded global retail transaction volume increased from 174 transactions in 2021 to 204 transactions in 2023, representing a growth rate of 17.2%. However, supply for the AS350/H125 helicopters in the secondary market has shown a downward trend year-on-year, with the average percentage of helicopters for sale declining from 4.7% at the end of Q4 2020 to 2.1% at the end of Q4 2023. The average days on the market for pre-owned AS350/H125 decreased by approximately 360 days in three years.

These market trends further reinforce the dominant position of the AS350/H125 family in its class. The large, well-spread fleet both geographically and among operator categories boosts liquidity and value retention. There is also an abundance of AS350/H125 qualified pilots, engineers, mechanics, spare parts, engineering support, and overall experience with the type. Together with its reliability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and capability, the AS350/H125 family continues to be the helicopter of choice in the Single turbine engine category.
