N-numbers freeing up in January 2027

2,910 reserved N-numbers have FAA purge dates in January 2027. If the holder doesn't renew before the purge date, the FAA releases the tail back to the public — and anyone can reserve it for $10 a year.

A purge date is a scheduled release, not a guarantee: holders can renew right up to the date. Check any tail on its purge day to see if it actually freed up. From FAA data dated Oct 8, 2026.
