How we read this price · 9 sources · researched 04/06/2026
H160 in production since 2021 (EASA cert Jul-2020, first delivery Dec-2021). New/green base price ~US$14M (Maxim, Bolt Flight, ach.airbus.com), fully-equipped US$14-20M; VIP/ACH160 completions commonly US$18-22M (aeromugs) and broker quotes up to US$15-24M. Pre-owned market is thin and near-new: live listings are 2023-2024 units with delivery-only hours, almost all POA/'please call' (Controller, GlobalAir, HeliTrader, AeroAsset, Blueberry Aviation). Median anchored ~US$15.5M for a low-time VIP-capable unit; min ~US$13M base-trim used; max ~US$22M VIP. NOTE: true H160 pricing exceeds the heli_medium_turbine sanity ceiling (~US$12M) because it is a premium new aircraft; values reported are documented, not capped to the heuristic. Strong residual expected (~50-60% after 10yr per Bolt Flight). Sources accessed 2026-06-04.
