B737 Classic Values Face Weaker Market Conditions
The values of the B737 Classic – the -300, -400 and -500 – are continuing to fall as the market moves to more efficient equipment. Values of the B737 Classic now range between $1-5 million for those still in an airworthy condition though there are a great many that are…

Values of Younger Aircraft Continue to Fall
The market conditions are such that there are relatively few major changes to values taking place. There are many countries around the world that have formal and informal limits on the age of aircraft that can be imported and leased. The airlines themselves may also avoid older aircraft even if…

Emphasis on Larger Narrowbodies Points to Weaker Residuals for 120 Seaters
By ordering large numbers of A320s and B737-800s in recent years the average size of narrowbodies has shifted higher which has negative implications for residual values of smaller aircraft. The lack of orders of the A319 and B737-700 in recent years, and a shrinking backlog for both types, clearly indicates…

Values of Older A320s & B737NGs Warrant Different Residuals Assessment of Actual Specification Becomes Ever More Important for Values
The extension of the product life cycle of aircraft by virtually all manufacturers is making it ever more essential to ensure that the value reflects the specification of the specific aircraft and, if necessary, to calculate different residual value curves for early and later aircraft. With aircraft types now remaining…

Residuals of Low Weight A350-900 May Need Fine Tuning
Longer range capability is sought by manufacturers but an ever growing number of operators need capacity rather range and this continues to create considerable differential in values. The B777-200ER is a classic example of where some Asian carriers have needed medium haul capability. Instead of using the higher 656,000lb MTOW…

Lessors Seek to Increase Rentals
The competition to place aircraft is intense but lessors are increasingly seeking to temporarily park aircraft rather than accept lower rentals. The increase in the proportion of the fleet that are leased has also seen increased competition among the lessors. The product life cycle of the B737-800 for example, is…

MD83 Values Fail to Clamber Out of Canyon
The values of the MD83 continue to remain depressed as they have been for nearly a decade but the size of the operator base shows that there remains interest in the type. Despite still being the most desirable of MD80 variants, the fortunes of the MD83 have experienced sustained adversity.…
