a median ask of EUR 2.6M.
Where the aircraft are
Germany and the United Kingdom together hold roughly a third of the
listings we can place on a map.
Based on the 40.3% of listings that state a location we can resolve to a country. Sellers in some markets name the country more consistently than others, so read this as the shape of the market rather than an exact ranking.
What buyers are searching for
This is Google search demand, not PlaneFox traffic. We track monthly
search volume for every model in the taxonomy across Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland
and the United Kingdom, then compare the last three months against the same months a
year earlier. Of the 108 models with enough volume to judge,
68 are trending up.

Losing ground
Where attention beats supply
Three independent measures of buyer interest, each divided by the
segment's share of the aircraft actually for sale.
Page viewsEnquiriesSaved aircraft
Each bar is a segment's share of buyer activity divided by its share of the aircraft on sale. Above 100 means buyers pay it more attention than its size on the market would suggest.
Helicopters are 10.7%
of the market but attract 26.6%
of buyer enquiries. Single engine pistons are the opposite: half the shelf,
31.3% of the enquiries.
The thin shelf
Monthly Google searches divided by the number actually for sale. A high
number means buyers are looking for a type that almost nobody is offering.

Some types draw serious search interest with nothing on the market at all:
Gulfstream G800 (11,042), Pilatus PC-21 (6,685), Dassault Falcon 6X (1,938), Air Tractor AT-802 (1,635), Sikorsky S-58 (1,065), Aero AT-3 (485), Cessna 408 SkyCourier (468), PZL-106 Kruk (419). Search interest includes research and enthusiasm as well as buying intent,
so treat these as a starting point for a conversation rather than a shopping list.
The crowded end
The same measure inverted. These are well supplied relative to the
number of people looking, which is where competition on price and presentation bites.

Attention per aircraft on PlaneFox
Which models pull more page views than their share of the listings
would predict. An index of 100 is par.
Index of 100 means a model draws page views in line with how many of them are for sale. Higher means more interest per aircraft.
At the other end, Beechcraft Bonanza 36, Cessna CitationJet / CJ, Beechcraft Baron 58, Piper PA-46 Malibu / Mirage / Matrix / M350 draw fewer views
than their share of the market suggests. That is usually a sign of plentiful supply
rather than weak interest.
What it costs
Average asking price by year of build for the four best represented
model families. Each panel keeps its own scale.
We record every advertised price change we observe. Since tracking
began in July we have seen 551 reductions against 220
increases.

Selling an aircraft?
PlaneFox lists your stock in front of the buyers above, free. If you are a broker
or dealer, you can claim your listings and see how your aircraft are performing.
PlaneFox continuously crawls 206 broker and marketplace sites and
resolves what it finds into a single aircraft taxonomy, so a Cessna 172 is counted the
same way whoever is advertising it. Figures below describe the aircraft visible on
PlaneFox on 25 August 2026.
Counting. The same airframe often appears on several sites. We
count each aircraft once, using the primary listing, and exclude sold, withdrawn and
hidden listings.
Prices. 52.3% of listings carry a public price. Those
are converted to euro at European Central Bank reference rates for
2026-08-24. Prices below EUR 5,000 and currencies
without a published rate are excluded. Medians are used throughout, because a handful
of very expensive aircraft would drag any average.
Google search demand. Monthly search volumes come from Google
Keyword Planner for Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and the United Kingdom, combined
with a volume weighting. The trend blends the most recent three months against the
same months a year earlier with the full twelve month trend. Airliners and warbirds
are excluded from the rankings: they draw real search volume but are not broker
inventory.
Buyer activity. Page views, enquiries and saved aircraft are
reported as shares and index numbers only. We do not publish visitor counts for
individual aircraft or sellers.
No time to sale figure yet. This is the honest gap in edition
one. PlaneFox only began systematically recording when a listing disappears in July
2026, so any average we calculated today would measure when our checks ran rather
than how long aircraft take to sell. We would rather leave it out than publish a
number that looks authoritative and is not. The next edition will carry a like for
like time to sale series.
Trends over time. For the same reason, this edition is a
baseline rather than a trend report. Month on month changes in the number of listings
are still dominated by new broker sites joining the platform, not by the market
itself. Future editions will compare against this one.
Location. 40.3% of listings
state a location precise enough to place in a country. Many of the rest give only an
airport code or a city, and habits differ by market, so the country chart describes
that subset rather than the whole fleet.
