Values of Turboprops Remain Stable Despite Fuel

The lower price of fuel, which should seemingly allow operators to fly regional jets more efficiently, has not had an impact on the values of turboprops as demand for used equipment remains robust. The turboprop market is one that is largely ignored by the air transport community primarily as the…

Values of Used Turboprops Remain Strong

The lower price of fuel has done nothing to quell the demand for used turboprops and indeed for new examples. Lower fuel prices generally mean that jets become more efficient over shorter sector lengths but operators cannot build their fleet plans around a temporary fall in jet fuel pricing. The…

Turboprop Rentals Continue to Generate Profits

While there may not be much opportunity for lessors to upscale lease rentals, at current levels the rates are generating more than an adequate return.
