Ending of ATR72-500 Production Fails to Dent Values
The ending of ATR72-500 production in 2012 has not affected the current or future values of the types as the arrival of the ATR72-600 represents an evolutionary rather than revolutionary replacement. The year 2012 will see the ending of ATR72-500 production in favor of the -600. Residual values of the…

Rates for Older Turboprops Decline
While the lease rentals of the more modern turboprops remain stable those of the older types have experienced a modest fall due to the combination of age and increasing maintenance.

Reliability issues are usually inevitable with the service entry of any new product but persistent problems such as those being experienced with the Dash8-400 over a number of years can have implications for residual values as subsequent operators may not wish to acquire used aircraft with lesser reliability.

Proposed 90 Seat Turboprops No Threat to Existing Residuals - Yet

Timeline of B787-10 Sufficiently Obscure As to Favor B787-9 Residuals
The continued dithering by Boeing over if, when and what form the B787-10 will allow residual values of the already launched B787-9 to be that much stronger in the period through to 2020, and possibly beyond. By having to focus on current difficulties, Boeing is taking a more measure approach…

Turboprop Values Continue to be Stable
Orders for turboprops have improved recently, and with the hike in the price of fuel, operators will again consider the aircraft as protection against such cost increases. ATR recorded a total of 80 orders in 2010, comprising 75 ATR72s and five ATR42s. This compares with only 40 orders in 2009.…
