Our Data & Methodology
How AeroGurus collects, cleans and verifies the used-aircraft market — and what that means for the numbers you see on every page.
Where our data comes from
AeroGurus continuously aggregates aircraft-for-sale data from 43 independent sources — broker and dealer inventories, manufacturer-affiliated sellers and major listing marketplaces. Rather than send you to dozens of sites, we bring the whole market into one place so you can compare like for like. Every listing keeps a link back to its original source so you can verify and contact the seller directly.
How we normalize it
The same aircraft is described differently on every source. We standardize manufacturer and model names to a single canonical form — preserving the original marque (a Learjet stays a Learjet, a Socata TBM stays a Socata) rather than collapsing brands — so that a search for one model returns every matching aircraft regardless of how each seller spelled it.
One aircraft, one page
A single airframe is often advertised in several places at once. We identify each aircraft by its registration and serial number and merge those duplicate adverts into one record, across 13,006 individual aircraft. That means you see each aircraft once — with every place it is listed — instead of scrolling past the same airplane five times.
Live prices, not stale snapshots
Prices, photos and availability are refreshed daily. When a listing changes price or sells, we record it — so the figures on AeroGurus reflect the market now, and our sold-aircraft history reflects what comparable airframes actually transacted at.
Specifications & safety
Each model is paired with verified performance, engine and weight specifications, and — where official accident-history records exist — safety information drawn from public registries (160 aircraft currently carry recorded incident history). We surface this so a purchase decision rests on more than an asking price.
What we don’t do
AeroGurus is an independent aggregator, not a broker. We don’t sell aircraft, take commissions on sales, or alter a seller’s asking price. Aggregated data can contain errors from its source; always confirm registration, hours, condition and price directly with the seller before any transaction.
