B737-900 Values Stable Due to Engine Prices
The values of the -900 can perhaps be likened to those of the A321-100 which similarly has not been the most successful of variants. The existing operators of the type number only six with Alaska and United possessing nearly 50 percent of the fleet, a statistic that has barely changed…

A330-900 Values Fail to Advance
The market for the A330-900 remains reasonable but values have not achieved the levels that were expected when the type was launched but then orders have been scarce for most widebodies over the last year. When the A330-900 was launched the fuel efficiency over the existing A330-200 and -300 was…

Widebody Rentals Fail to Advance

Remarketing B737-900ER Becomes Ever More Difficult
The market for the B737-900ER is proving to be difficult in view of the restricted operator base and the clear preference for the A321-200. The B737-900ER arrived late to the market, long after the A321 had established itself. For some years Boeing did not consider that a larger aircraft than…
