Widebody Values Experience Modest Decline
The values of most widebodies have slipped as a result of weaker market conditions and the off peak season. While the values of the B777-300ER, newer A330-300s and the A380 are managing to hold firm, those of other types are not faring so well. The market for used widebodies has…
