The Canadian aircraft market this week
What is on the Transport Canada register, what has been registered lately, what is for sale on MarketPlane, and what adverts across Canada are asking by family. Counted, not estimated, and rebuilt every day.
349 aircraft were registered or re-registered in Canada in the 30 days to September 17, 2026 — the date of the current certificate, which more often marks a change of hands than an arrival. Every one has a page you can look up by mark.
Every family with five or more asking prices in the price book — adverts seen across Canada, on MarketPlane and elsewhere, in Canadian dollars. “Most between” is the middle half, so one optimistic advert does not move it. Asking, not sold; the two are never averaged together.

Where the register lives
How to read this page
- Register figures are counts of rows in the Transport Canada Civil Aircraft Register, current to September 17, 2026. Every aircraft on it has a page: look one up by mark.
- Asking prices are what adverts asked, not what aircraft sold for. Confirmed sales are kept apart in the price book and are never averaged with asking prices.
- For-sale counts are MarketPlane listings that are live now, as of September 19, 2026. Free to list, no commission — list yours.
