Values Of A318 Achieve Measure of Stability
While availability of A318s is virtually non existent this is not preventing values of the type from remaining weak. The type has long since seen the last delivery and while the aircraft may still be offered as a corporate aircraft, there is limited interest in a commercial role. Even the…

Values Remain Large Stable Aided by Fuel Price
The lower price of fuel is providing a measure of breathing space for used narrowbodies. The values of used aircraft have been under pressure as a result of the drive towards newer aircraft that offer greater efficiency. Now that the differential in operating costs is being narrowed there is lesser…

Aircraft Asset Assessment: A318
Market Presence. The high gross weight A318s are a match for the B737-600, something that was lacking with the original payload/range objectives.

Peak for Existing Products Despite Backlog
While there are thousands of aircraft on backlog, the transition to the product lines are keeping values realistic. The smaller backlog of 2006-2007 caused values to climb to new heights largely because production rates were of a lesser magnitude and due to a stable product line up. Today manufacturers are…

Age Related Declines Take Effect
The values of most narrowbodies in production are experiencing age related declines. In normal balanced market conditions, values of aircraft should decline by some 5-7 percent per annum. When the market is strong such a decline is less evident and when times are adverse, values can fall by a much…

B717 Values Remain Static
The fall in values of the B717 is much less pronounced than in previous years now that there is a measure of equilibrium between efficiency, demand and capital cost. However, the type continues to suffer from marginalization as a consequence of a limiter production run and an operator base that…
