Aircraft Asset Assessment: MD90

Market Presence. The reasonable operating economics, low noise footprint and restriction emissions have failed to generate interest in the type in recent years even when alternatives were in short supply.

Pricing & Values of B777-300ERs Yet to be Delivered Under Scrutiny

Placing Value on CFM56-3 Engines On Basis of LLP Cost Becomes Irrelevant

B767-300 Values Also Set to Disappoint
