My family has a bit of a love-hate relationship with my cell phone. They understand that when it rings, something probably needs attention. Sometimes it's good news, like an accepted offer on an aircraft acquisition.

What none of us knows is when that phone is going to ring.

Only three countries in the world have more turboprops than jets, with Canada being one. This fact explains more about the Canadian aircraft market than any price chart.

The worldwide aircraft hangar market had an estimated valuation of USD 829.32 million in 2025.
