  The Sackin index is an important measure for the balance of phylogenetic
trees. We investigate two extensions of the Sackin index to the class of galled
trees and two of its subclasses (simplex galled trees and normal galled trees)
where we consider both labeled and unlabeled galled trees. In all cases, we
show that the mean of the Sackin index for a network which is uniformly sampled
from its class is asymptotic to $\mu n^{3/2}$ for an explicit constant $\mu$.
In addition, we show that the scaled Sackin index convergences weakly and with
all its moments to the Airy distribution.
